Ibrahim Kibuuka Bbossa has submitted his resignation from the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) after nearly three years of leading the Public and Corporate Affairs Division.
Bbossa, who has served as URA Spokesperson since late 2021, played a pivotal role in steering the Authority’s public engagement during a transformative period under Commissioner General John R. Musinguzi. This era was characterized by a commitment to patriotism, professionalism, and integrity.
Known for his advocacy of socially responsible business practices, Bbossa was recognized for his transparency and accountability in dealing with URA stakeholders. His prompt responses to digital and media inquiries endeared him to the press and brought URA closer to the public.
Throughout his tenure, Bbossa managed several key initiatives, including the Mpa E Receipt Yange campaign, which encouraged the adoption of e-receipts among Ugandans. He also spearheaded a digital communication overhaul at URA, enhancing the organization’s online presence with innovative campaigns and the establishment of URA TV for digital broadcasting.
Bbossa’s focus on tax education led to the transformation of this function into a dedicated division, leaving behind a skilled team well-equipped to disseminate tax education throughout Uganda.
When asked about his future plans, Bbossa teased, “You’ll know soon enough. We are going to be working even more closely.”
His career includes roles such as Head of Public and International Relations at the Uganda Communications Commission, Marketing Specialist at Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited, Principal Marketing Officer at the Uganda National Bureau of Standards, and Corporate Fundraising Officer at the Uganda Red Cross Society. He has also lectured at the Islamic University in Uganda.
Bbossa is a Chevening Fellow with a Master’s in Communications Management from the University of Rwanda. He also holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing from the London School of Marketing and a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Studies from the Islamic University in Uganda, where he was later appointed as a lecturer.
