The uproar by the public, lobby groups and the religious organization that MPs should pay taxes will surely fall on deaf ears for various reasons. Firstly; by now majority of the MPs have committed their salaries and allowances to personal needs such as mortgage repayments, educating their children abroad or locally among others.
Secondly, a vast number of them know for sure that they won’t make it to the parliament in the year 2012; hence the need to capitalize on this available opportunity.
Thirdly, a good number of them are overwhelmed by their constituents’ financial needs leaving them with little disposable income.
Lastly and not the least, there are those who are utterly selfish and would therefore resist any move to have them taxed.Why MPs are not likely to pay taxes.
