Abu Martin Kanneh Takes Charge as New NRA Commissioner General

The National Revenue Authority (NRA) has welcomed Abu Martin Kanneh following his appointment as the Authority’s new Commissioner General, as the institution continues efforts to strengthen domestic revenue mobilisation, taxpayer compliance and efficient revenue administration.

Kanneh brings more than two decades of experience within the NRA, having joined the Authority in 2004 as a Collector and rising through several positions of increasing responsibility.

He previously served as Commissioner of the Customs Services Department, where he provided strategic leadership in customs administration, revenue collection, border control operations and trade facilitation.

He later served as Senior Director of the Staff Welfare Department, further broadening his experience in the administration and management of the Authority.

His appointment comes at a time when the NRA is focused on improving domestic revenue mobilisation, strengthening taxpayer compliance and enhancing the efficiency and transparency of revenue administration.

The Authority is also seeking to improve taxpayer services and strengthen institutional effectiveness, priorities that will form part of the responsibilities facing the new Commissioner General.

The NRA’s Board, senior management and staff have congratulated Kanneh on his appointment and wished him success as he assumes leadership of the Authority.

His appointment marks another stage in a career spanning more than two decades at the NRA and through several senior positions.

As Commissioner General, Kanneh will lead the Authority as it continues efforts to improve revenue collection, strengthen taxpayer compliance and enhance the efficiency and transparency of Sierra Leone’s revenue administration.
