Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has appointed three commissioners and two assistant commissioners on Monday 1st November 2021.
“The URA Board of Directors at its 3rd/2021 Special Board meeting held on 26th and 27th October 2021 interviewed candidates for the vacant Senior Management positions in the Departments of Domestic Taxes, Tax Investigations, Information Technology, and Innovation and Commissioner General’s Office,” a memo seen by this website reads in part.
Mr. Denis Kugonza Kateeba formerly working with Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) has joined URA as Commissioner Tax Investigations while Mr. Robert Mutebi has joined the tax body as Commissioner, Information Technology and Innovation.
Ms. Allen Nassanga has been appointed assistant commissioner in charge of Information Technology and Innovation while CPA Sarah Chelengat Muzungyo formerly working with Ernst & Young Uganda has been appointed Commissioner Domestic Taxes.
Unfortunately, Ian Rumanyika who has been Acting Assistant Commissioner for Public & Corporate Affairs for a while now is not amongst the newly appointed commissioners and will be replaced by Ibrahim Bbossa Kibuuka, who has been Uganda Communications Commission’s (UCC) Spokesperson.
The new leaders are expected to report on December 1st, 2021, with the exception of AC Research and Innovation whose appointment was effective November 1, 2021.
A source on the URA board said all the appointees were sourced competitively and come with experience.
