Former Kenya Revenue Authority Commissioner General Michael G. Waweru has been lauded as a hero for instilling in Kenyans a tax-compliance mindset, making even the average Kenyan feel obligated to pay taxes.
Hon. Amos Kimunya, Leader of the Majority at the National Assembly, spoke at the official launch of Michael Waweru’s autobiography, dubbed Kenya’s Tax Czar, an autobiography by MG Waweru, and praised the author for penning the book.
“I can verify that during his nine-year stint as Commissioner-General, MG Waweru laid a strong basis for not only tax collection in the country, but also for the impressive transformation of KRA by enabling staff to act as agents and catalysts for reform,” says the author.
The autobiography Kenya Tax Czar, published by publishing powerhouse East African Educational Publishers (EAEP), includes MG Waweru’s thoughts on the role of the family in his success, the challenges he faced growing up during the heady days of the fight for independence, and many other accounts of his life journey.
The autobiography, according to EAEP Chief Executive Officer Kiarie Kamau, is excellent for a wide range of people since it comprises layers of exciting experiences.
“We are ecstatic to be a part of such legendary work that touches on every element of human existence, including education, work, profession, and family,” said the team. We congratulate M.G. Waweru for his excellent effort, and I strongly advise readers to take advantage of this opportunity and read this autobiography,” he stated.
He expressed his delight that his iconic clarion call, ‘Kulipa Ushuru ni Kujitegemea,’ is still remembered by Kenyans.
