“In my remarks at African Union‘s 1st Sub-Committee on Tax and Illicit Financial Flows, I highlighted the importance of countries contributing to the continent’s Tax Strategy. It is historic that this is the first time we have a platform that harmonises tax policies in the continent. I have been privileged to work with African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) in providing technical support to this process, and it warms my heart that these reforms are being actualised.
