Eighteen emerging groups of illegal multiple tax collectors are the cause of increasing commodity prices in the country, says Secretary-General of South Sudan Chamber of Commerce.
Simon Akuei Deng appeals to the illegal tax collectors to spare the public from suffering the impact of their activities.
The Secretary-General urges the Ministry of Interior to address the concern of illegal tax collection affecting the ordinary people.
Economic recovery in South Sudan can only be achieved through systematic peace implementation, domestic production, exportation, investment and national change of attitude from negative to positive, Akuei says.
The official says the Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to dialogue with Businesspersons’ Federation to end media propaganda against each other on legal matters.
The Ministry of Justice is expected to mediate the quarrel between the Chamber of Commerce and Businesspersons’ Federation.
