Introduce a law to penalise greedy business owners during the covid19 pandemic
Greedy business owners who have control over daily essentials including those who operate the butchers, slaughterhouses, corner shop, small supermarkets and larger cash and carry’s during the coronavirus pandemic. Full advantage of the current situation is being taken by hiking prices
These greedy businesses are taking advantage and exploring business. Instead of showing kindness, generosity and humanity.
Full advantage of the current situation is being taken by hiking prices from the most vulnerable people in our society today.
