Gilani and co haven't paid tax for 5 yrs



==================================================/


ISLAMABAD: Even as Pakistan is reeling under devastation caused by unprecedented floods that has cost the country's economy a whopping $43 billion, a report by a newspaper on Monday said PM Yousaf Raza Gilani and 25 of his cabinet members have not paid any income tax for the last five years. 

It has been estimated that the country needs $43 billion for rebuilding and rehabilitation and the government is looking towards donors and philanthropists to contribute generously for this cause. 

However, when it comes to leading by example, the Pakistan government has been found wanting. The ministers are reportedly yet to declare their assets or submit income tax returns as demanded by the election commission or other authorities concerned. (the times of india)
