Description
There should be more transparency on how public funds are being spent. This should be monitored through the setting up of different boards to ensure internal accountability and transparency and the amalgamation of the revenue earning departments that includes legislative amendments, HR, systems, and logistical arrangements to ensure a smooth transition process. This merger is a process through which Government is aiming at strengthening its capabilities in ensuring a fuller, fairer collection of tax and other dues due to it, to further strengthen its efforts against abuse while at the same time reducing bureaucracy for businesses and individuals.
