This being the election year, "Takhrima"
is a local word which will constantly be heard around the political
cycles. People are however yet to be told What that is supposed to
mean, Who should use it, Where, but in particular .... Why?
The cash token known as "Takhrima!" was actually meant to mean an
allowance of gratitude given to a person after accomplishing
something, at least that is how I understand it. But offering "Takhrima,"
to a person who is yet to do something, raises eyebrows.
Most people are yet to know what the term entails and where exactly
should "Takhrima" apply, otherwise the way the term is being used
currently, only serves to play the role of bribery and this is
especially in local politics.

As far as I am concerned, "Takhrima!"
is essentially corruption camouflaged. If graft is illegal and
Takhrima permitted, then people will use the latter channel to pass
bribery.
Let everything be properly explained, People should be told what is
Takhrima, how much does it cost, who should offer or be offered and
important, Why! Or better still, to be on the safe side, why not
scrap off the term altogether?

I learnt that the Takhrima
being offered to Members of Parliament, is meant for them to
prepared for the forthcoming elections. This is as good as bribery.
We all know that MP's earn fat tax-free allowances while attending
sessions, why don't they become self dependent for a change?
Instead of giving such Takhrima to MPs the government should channel
the money to more useful things like helping the need or investing
it in economy boosting ventures.
