Bound to fail

This is apropos your editorial “Bound to fail” (December 23) the present finance minister is doing the same thing his predecessors have done many times without success: giving amnesty to tax evaders, instead of catching gas and electricity thieves, smugglers and those indulging in income tax/sales tax evasion. If the government cannot recover taxes from the big thieves, it should return all the tax money that has been paid over the past sixty six years by honest tax-payers, in accordance with the principles of natural justice.
