John Musinguzi Rujoki (born c. 1973), is a Ugandan mathematician and corporate executive who serves as the Commissioner-General of the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), effective 2 April 2020.[1]
Early life and education
Musinguzi was born in Rubirizi, Uganda circa 1973. After attending local primary school, he was admitted to Ntare School, a prestigious all-boys boarding high school in Mbarara city, where he obtained a High School Diploma. He was admitted to Makerere University, Uganda's oldest and largest public university, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. He went on to study at the University of Greenwich, in the United Kingdom, where he graduated with a Master of Science degree in Computing and Information Systems.[2]
Career
In 2000, Rujoki served as the head of the finance and audit department of the Special Revenue Protection Services (SRPS), a military unit attached to the Uganda Revenue Authority. The SRPS is credited with wiping out smuggling at Ugandan borders and especially on Lake Nalubaale.[3]
In April he was appointed to lead at URA, as the new Commissioner General, replacing Doris Akol, who had served one year and five months of her second consecutive four-year contract. Within 60 days of his appointment four senior managers at URA resigned and the URA board "accepted" their resignations.[3][4]
Other considerations
In addition to his other assignments, Rujoki serves as the Chairman of board of National Information Technology Authority (NITA-U), since October 2019.[3] He is also a senior advisor on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to the President of Uganda, since 2015.[2] In his capacity as Commissioner General, he sits on the seven-person board of directors of the Uganda Revenue Authority, as his predecessors did.[5]
