Professional Trade Unions to Stage Protest Against High Income Taxes Near Parliament Entrance

December 13, 2023

Several professional trade unions, spearheaded by the Government Medical Officers' Association (GMOA), are set to conduct a protest campaign today against what they deem as excessively high income taxes. The demonstration, scheduled to commence at 09:00 a.m. near the Parliament entrance, is expected to draw participation from trade unions representing various sectors, including engineers and bankers.

The Government Medical Officers' Association, a prominent union representing medical professionals, has taken a leading role in organizing the protest. The campaign is a response to the perceived burden imposed by the current income tax structure, affecting professionals across different fields.

Trade unions from diverse sectors, recognizing a shared concern over the impact of high income taxes on their members, have joined forces to voice their grievances. Engineers, bankers, and other professionals are expected to unite in a collective call for a review of the existing tax policies, citing the economic challenges faced by their members.

The demonstration aims to convey a message to policymakers, urging them to reconsider and potentially revise the income tax rates. Protesters argue that the current tax burden disproportionately affects professionals, hindering their financial well-being and economic contributions.
