Controversial musician Christopher Mosioma aka Embarambamba has come out to slam Lang’ata MP Felix Odiwour alias Jalang’o over his distressing action.
Embarambamba took offence with the words Jalang’o said in a video he uploaded online before MPs voted on the controversial Finance Bill 2023.
In the video, the Lang’ata MP had no defence for the content creators over the issue of being subject to a 15 per cent withholding tax, saying they are well known for their flashy lifestyles.
The government ultimately reduced the withholding tax cut from 15% to 3% after digital content creators bitterly protested.
“You people brought this to yourself and I’m not lying to you, the government will not relent. What we need to do is come together and ask ourselves how much we are willing to pay or how do we tell them that maybe sometimes we are just flossing,” Jalang’o said in the video.
However, Embarambamba says that not all content creators earn a huge amount of money from their contents.
“I saw Eric Omondi and Jalang’o commenting on content creation taxation. However, one should not just speak or air their views to please the president. Don’t just talk because your content is being consumed online and you earn a living from that. Some of us don’t get money from creating content,” Embarambamba said.
Embarambamba who has also been accused of using vulgar language in some of his songs noted that he was neglected by the former government despite his tears while rolling on mad.
“Remember that 10 years ago, I cried for help from the President and his Deputy but I was not given an ear. So let’s just support wasanii and content creators,” he added.
