The institute takes this ritual seriously and only confers its highest class of membership to deval to deserving and qualified members. As the events ring and members are fetished to a time of whining and dining, issues of taxation and government fiscal policies also hold sway. The gas speaker, executive chairman of the federal capital territory inland revenue service, Haruna of the Lai, gives an analogy between residents getting their PVCs and having their tax clearance certificates. Government is also charged on trust and effect of tax payments. I was trying to make a point regarding why it is very important for people to file their tax returns and have a tax clearance certificate because it's important. I compared it to having PVCs. So I said if you have a PVC and you pay your tax, I mean you've done your part, you've voted and then you've paid tax and then you are able to interrogate, we're able to interrogate political leaders because people decide not to then and then you are also expecting so much from government but you're not doing your part. And CRTN has been contributing not just today. The entire finance act that have come up in the past administration, we've always been part of it and that is what we are out for. Supporting to ensure that it's a better tax administration and an effective tax system in the country and we won't give up. But there must be trust in governance. People are willing to pay but when we pay, what does government do with the money? We must see the effect of our payment of the taxes complying. Then apart from that, they should make it easy. They should not allow the tax administration to give way to things like corruption or under the capital activities. At the end of the day, awards are presented to various district societies.
