Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) spokesperson, Ibrahim Kibuuka Bbossa, has resigned after nearly three years leading the Public and Corporate Affairs Division.

Bbossa, who previously worked as a senior communications official at Uganda Communications Commission, tendered his resignation on August 30, 2024.

The move caught many by surprise.

Bbossa was appointed URA Spokesperson in late 2021 as the Assistant Commissioner of Public and Corporate Affairs in the Commissioner General’s office.

He has been leading URA’s public-facing initiatives during a period of significant reforms led by Commissioner General John R. Musinguzi.

Tasked with revealing his next move, Bossa remained reticent, only hinting to this publication, “You’ll know soon enough. We are going to be working even more closely.”

Bbossa was a strong advocate for socially responsible business practices, approaching his job with complete transparency and accountability to all URA stakeholders.

He was known for promptly responding to inquiries on digital media platforms and extending the same responsiveness to media inquiries, which not only made him popular with the media but also brought URA closer to the citizens.

During his time at URA, Bbossa will be remembered for his involvement in various initiatives, including the Mpa E Receipt Yange campaign.
