BUJUMBURA, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Newly appointed Commissioner General Leonard Sentore assumed the office of the Burundi Revenue Authority (OBR) on Friday.
"I will do my best to improve the quality of services at the OBR and I will consolidate the OBR gains," said Sentore at the inauguration ceremony.
Former OBR Commissioner General Domitien Ndihokubwayo told Sentore to offer quality services for the OBR staff and tax payers. He also indicated that it remains a "big challenge" for the new chief to computerize the internal tax collection sector.
Sentore was the executive director at the African Development Bank before this appointment, and he has also served as the second vice-governor of Burundi's central bank.
Ndihokubwayo was appointed as the east African country's new finance, budget, development planning and privatization minister by President Pierre Nkurunziza on May 18, 2016.
