Cabinet, stop disguising weak management as policy, raising fees in a country already choking on high food prices, utilities, and stagnant incomes is not leadership, it is lazy extraction from a shrinking base.
You campaigned to fix the economy, not to squeeze the same taxpayers harder while businesses struggle and households cut back; every dollar you pull out through higher fees is a dollar removed from spending, investment, and job creation, which only deepens the slowdown.
A government serious about performance would be cutting waste, fixing revenue leakages, digitizing services, clearing approval backlogs, and aggressively incentivizing sectors that can employ people now, because employment, not taxation pressure, is what drives real growth and sustainable revenue.
Right now, the approach feels more like politicking than governing: talk heavy, action light, and the easiest lever, fees, pulled at the worst possible time.
The country cannot afford this level of uncreative management; shift from squeezing the economy to expanding it, or be honest that you are managing decline, not delivering progress.
