(JUBA) – The South Sudan Revenue Authority (SSRA) has expressed deep appreciation to its outgoing Commissioner General, Hon. Simon Akuei Deng, for his leadership and contribution to improving the country’s revenue collection system.
During his tenure, Mr Akuei led a number of key reforms aimed at improving tax compliance, modernising administrative systems, and promoting transparency and accountability in the management of public funds. His leadership, the Authority said, helped strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation efforts that are vital for South Sudan’s economic independence and nation-building.
The SSRA also announced the appointment of Hon. William Anyuon Kuol as the new Commissioner General, following a Presidential Decree broadcast on the South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC).
In a statement, the Authority said it looks forward to working under Mr Anyuon’s leadership to build on recent progress and advance reforms towards a sustainable and efficient tax system. The transition, it added, represents a key step in ensuring continuity and stability in the country’s revenue management framework.
The SSRA’s ongoing reforms are considered central to South Sudan’s broader goal of diversifying its economy beyond oil revenues. Strengthened domestic revenue mobilisation is expected to provide the government with more predictable funding for development projects and public services.
The Authority said it remains committed to promoting a fair, transparent, and efficient revenue collection system that supports national growth and fiscal sustainability.
