Professor Attiya Waris

Prof Waris has had a blog since 2017 which discusses issues surrounding fiscal systems. Focus is on taxation and state revenues that finance a state and its activities. No matter what you need in the development of a state and its poverty alleviation you need to locate resources for it. In a post-fiscal state world everyone needs to understand the legal mechanics of this process after all the money comes from the taxpayer at the end of the day and that is every single person, so we all have an interest in making sure we understand not only how the money is utilised but also to ensure it respond to the needs of the people. Hopefully this blog will try to set out the building blocks for this so that we all ensure that our tax systems run in an accountable, transparent, responsible, efficient, effective, fair and just manner. The blog is published in english, french, arabic and kiswahili.
