Seventy-two (72) participants (representing 20 revenue authorities and 41 news media agencies) formed part of the unique engagement, held under the auspices of the African Tax Administrative Forum (ATAF). LRA Commissioner General Elfrieda Stewart Tamba is a Governing Council Member of ATAF and was instrumental in Liberia’s participation. Participants realized that both the media and the RAs work in the best interests of the public for national development. She urged them to remain engaged and assured ATAF’s unending commitment to working with media and tax authorities in improving taxation on the continent. Commissioners, Senior Tax Administrators and Policy Makers from 28 African countries resolved to work towards the establishment of ATAF.
