Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab announces Rs228 million collected via K-Electric bills for KMC’s municipal taxes, aiming for Rs3 billion annually to fund city projects and pay dues.
KARACHI:
KMC aims to collect Rs3 billion annually from municipal taxes, which will be used for development projects across the city as well as for paying pensions and dues to municipal employees. Details of these receipts and expenditures will be available online.
Speaking at a press conference at KMC's head office on Tuesday, alongside Deputy Mayor Salman Abdullah Murad, he said it was time to question those who opposed the collection of municipal taxes through K Electric. "Who will answer for the Rs10 billion in losses incurred by KMC over the past three years due to their negative propaganda? Why were they trying to strangle this city?" he asked.
