David Kalemera picked to head new State House unit to monitor URA

Entebbe, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | President Yoweri Museveni has again created another unit to fight corruption, this time in the Uganda Revenue Authority-URA.

In a short statement released by the Presidential Press Unit, the unit is going to be under the State House.

“The Presidential Press Unit wishes to inform the general public that the President…has created the State House Revenue Intelligence and Strategic Operations Unit to do an oversight on Uganda Revenue Authority operations and fight corruption within the tax administration system,” the statement reads in part.

The statement adds that the creation of the unit will help the government close revenue leakages and boost tax collection. It adds that Museveni has also appointed David Kalemera as a Senior Presidential Advisor and Head of the Unit.

The creation of this anti-corruption unit adds to a litany of statutory and other units created to fight corruption among different government agencies.

State House now has several such units such as the Anti-Corruption Unit headed by Brig. Henry Isoke, the State House Investor Protection Unit headed by Col. Edith Nakalema, State House Health Monitoring Unit headed by Dr Warren Namanya among others.

These join statutory anti-corruption units such as the Inspectorate of Government, the Auditor General, the Director of Public Prosecution, the Police Criminal Investigation Department, the Anticorruption Court among others.

  1. Another Museveni Kin’s man, clan man and tribe mate. He is not there to oversee URA or to curb corruption. He is there to help Museveni launder money and to steal money on behalf of Museveni. This very man was two years ago involved in corruption. He is crook and a gang. Proper waste of tax payers money
