(JUBA) – The Board of Directors of the South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA) held its second quarter meeting on Wednesday to assess the authority’s performance and provide strategic guidance on revenue administration and governance.
The meeting was chaired by Stephen Dhieu Dau, chairperson of the SSRA Board, and reviewed performance reports for the period from October to December 2025. The reports offered insights into revenue collection, financial management, compliance, and the overall effectiveness of the authority.
In his opening remarks, Dhieu reminded board members of their responsibility to provide strategic direction, oversight, and timely approvals while maintaining high standards of transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership.
He noted that the reports were central to the board’s oversight role, ensuring that SSRA continues to mobilise domestic revenue efficiently and transparently.
“I encourage open, constructive, and forward-looking discussions focused on practical solutions that improve revenue collection, strengthen compliance, and enhance service delivery in line with SSRA’s core values,” Dhieu said.
The chairperson also highlighted the importance of the authority’s work in supporting the government’s ability to provide essential public services and advance national development. Decisions made by the board, he said, directly affect fiscal sustainability, institutional credibility, and the well-being of South Sudanese citizens.
Dhieu acknowledged several achievements during the period under review, including the upgrading of the manufacturers’ section within the Large Taxpayers Unit. He said the move demonstrated SSRA’s commitment to efficient management of key revenue-generating sectors.
Board members were also briefed on the ongoing development of frameworks for tax audits, dispute resolution, and corporate governance. Dhieu emphasised that these initiatives are vital for building public trust, improving compliance, and strengthening the overall effectiveness of the revenue authority.
