<guid>https://nilechronicles.com/ura-and-kra-forge-strategic-partnership-to-combat-cross-border-smuggling</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The collaboration was formalized following a high-level meeting between URA’s Commissioner for Tax Investigations, Kugonza Kateeba Denis, and KRA’s Commissioner for Investigations and Enforcement, David Yego, on November 5, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya. During the meeting, the two commissioners recognized the urgent need for a unified strategy to address the growing challenges of cross-border trade, particularly smuggling and illicit financial flows.

Under the Joint Collaboration Framework, both agencies will adopt a synchronized approach in tackling trade-related risks. This will involve sharing intelligence, conducting joint investigations, and executing coordinated interventions. According to Kateeba, this strategic partnership will enable the two authorities to unlock their full potential, ultimately boosting tax-to-GDP ratios to at least 20%. ]]></description>
