What is normal is any state any country or any organisation, is to start by
creating sources of income, after you have those sources then you will know
how and if you can/will tax the population. It is very complicated to build
a house starting from the roof. Secondly are you sure a Mugisu or even a
Muganda will pay his taxes to Mengo, an institution that is (a) corrupt and
(b) un elected?
