RRA now accuses exiled tycoon Rujugiro of tax default

The dispute between the Rwandan government and exiled tycoon Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa has taken a new turn, with the Rwanda Revenue Authority saying he owes it an unspecified amount of money in tax arrears accrued between 2007 and 2009.

The tax body on August 25 released a list of over 200 tax defaulters, including foreign and domestic owned businesses, who owe the government over $78 million in unremitted tax.
