“Personally nilikuwa nimephotocopy hio doh, hata nyumba niko nayo ni screenshot” Mulamwah has claimed.
The comedian has come out to deny claims of being stinking rich after videos and photos of him flaunting bundles of cash circulated online.
In a video he shared on social media, Mulamwah said that most of the cash he flaunts online are fake, including the mansion that he is allegedly building in his rural home.
According to him, content creators who are rich get money from elsewhere and not content creation.
“Hizi mambo mnaona Mulamwah na mapesa, mingi ni photocopy, kama mimi personally nilikuwa nimephotocopy hio doh, haikuwa doh, doh hapo ni kama tu thao mbili, hizo zingine zote zilikuwa photocopy. Hata nyumba niko nayo ni screenshot, hakuna doh, ukiona msanii na doh we jua ametoa kwingine its not about content creation.” Mulamwah said.

He revealed that while weighing in on the on going discussion about 15% tax that the government wants to impose on content creators.
Mulamwah said that the tax is too high for content creators, adding that the government won’t benefit from that because very few content creators earn good money.
“Nimetaka pia mi niongelee hii mambo ya 15% kwa content creators. Nataka niongee na rais kwasababu ananifollow kwa Facebook, mimi ndio msanii pekee mwenye rais anafollow so I believe hii message itamfikia.15% kwa content creators ni nyingi sana plus content creators wasanii hatufiki hata 100 so hata ukitax sioni hata kama kuna difference ambayo italeta. Kwa hao 100 wenye tunalipwa vizuri hatufiki hata 20,” he said.
Mulamwah urged the government to help content creators earn good money from their content, saying that will also boost its revenues.
Aside from that, he advocated for the reduction of the cost of production equipment such as cameras so that content creators can easily access them.
He further said that the tax will see many Kenyans lose jobs.
“Hata nyi hapo kwa statehouse mko na YouTube channel mtuambie huwa mnaingiza ngapi kwasababu ni ngumu sana kupata doh yoyote kwasababu unatax creators na space yenye wamejitengenezea hakuna kazi hatuna doh. Personally mi nimeandika watu more than 15, wenye wanashoot content wenye wanedit, ukianza kutax itabidi wengine wametolewa kwa orodha na haitakuwa fiti sijui kama tukiwatoa watapata kazi huku nje,” Mulamwah said.
