Former Uganda Revenue Authority Commissioner General Allen Kagina has asked all stakeholders to support the authority in ensuring that it increases its tax collection.
Speaking at the authority’s 30th anniversary and thanksgiving service at Kololo independence grounds, Kagina said the authority should be able to collect enough resources to support the implementation of the various government development programs.
She said as long as the country continues borrowing from abroad, it will remain a servant to the lenders.
Kagina also tipped the current Commissioner General John Musinguzi on how to succeed saying everything is possible with prayer and hard work.
She testified that under her leadership, the authority rebranded and changed systems from only enforcement to tax education, which has continued to yield positive results.
