I think its been a nightmare to those whose revenue’s transactions are not in a transparency vision to the government… Actually it’s the overall country’s growth which this act want to accomplish and not of those personal intrest…i agree that per capita income is in a great need to hiked up..and many other factors …but the act are meant to see the rise in the growth capacity of a nation and its welfare…??
