President Museveni has defended a new unit he created to sniff around and bark at the Taxman, citing extensive corruption within the revenue collection institution.
The State House Revenue Intelligence and Strategic Operations Unit, created last week, is part of a broader strategy to combat tax under-declaration and embezzlement of collected revenue, which the President says are significant impediments to development.
Critics argue that the new unit, headed by David Kalemera, may overlap with existing structures and could potentially lead to bureaucratic inefficiencies.
However, President Museveni remains resolute, underscoring the necessity of such measures, including an Accountancy and Audit Unit is in the offing to safeguard public funds. END
