Speculation is rising over the abrupt removal of Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) Commissioner General Alphayo Kidata earlier this week against a backdrop of discontent among foreign investors and domestic traders over questionable taxation practices.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Tuesday named Zanzibar revenue chief Yusuph Juma Mwenda as the new TRA boss in place of Mr Kidata who had held the position since April 2021, moving him to an unspecified advisory role in State House.
