Law enforcement could be another source of revenue generation for the government.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, ADI has asked the government to look beyond GRA for revenue generation for the country.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to achieve this is to outsource the revenue collection to credible institutions as it would create a lot of jobs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the footnotes by the ADI, if these regulations are well implemented it would go a long way to install some level of discipline in the country.<\/p>\n<p>This discipline could translate into higher productivity that is improving productivity through discipline.<\/p>\n<p>The government could generate much-needed revenue through this instant court when culprits are fine which is expected to narrow the fiscal deficit.<\/p>\n<p>The ADI, however, urged the government to enforce the rules.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government should not think that if the rules are well implemented, they could lose the election,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"\/>  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent survey undertaken by the Alliance for Development and Industrialization, (ADI), depicts that the government could rake in close to GHc3billion if the indiscipline regulations and bylaws are enforced by the respective authorities in the country.
