Mr Ian Rumanyika has left the Uganda Revenue Authority where he has been serving as Manager for Public and Corporate Affairs.

In a series of tweets, Mr Rumanyika announced: “Today 5th April 2022, is my last day at URA as Manager Public and Corporate Affairs”.

Rumanyika, who was recently named amongst the top 100 Public Relations (PR) practitioners in Uganda, has held the position since January 2011.

 “It has been amazing 10 years and 9 months. I am forever grateful to God and colleagues at URA for believing in me and opening doors that enabled me grow and contribute to the agenda,” he wrote.

Rumanyika also said he was privileged to work for URA, which he said has made him what he is today.

“URA has made me what I am today, incredible organisation, and I feel privileged to have been a part of it for the last decade. To all stakeholders and taxpayers, I am super grateful, I have learned from you and you have made me better through this journey,” he said.

“Working with each one of you, especially the media during my time here, has been the most precious, purpose driven and learning experience ever. Please don’t be a stranger, I will need you in the next chapter and looking forward to achieving more together. Cheers,” he added.

At URA, Rumanyika was directly in charge of marketing and public relations, overseeing the entire PR operations, stakeholder management, service management, contact centre, change management, corporate brand management, media relations and management.

Other responsibilities included corporate social responsibility and taxpayer education and awareness.
