Jaymo Ule Msee: Govt. losing Sh5 billion a day not taxing call girls and 'tuma fare'

 

Comedian Jaymo Ule Msee has made a proposal to the Kenyan government to start a process to strengthen the ways of taxing various businesses that are currently not taxed.

In an interview with SPM Buzz, Jaymo said that the money that sisters use to buy beauty products, and the fare for visiting their men are some of the monies that should be taxed.

He said that the government is losing at least 5 billion shillings in taxes every day due to the transactions that are made between men going to their beauties and not being taxed on that money.

Jaymo suggested that the government should start something like a portal where if a beautiful person needs money, the man puts it there and before she gets it, it gets taxed at a certain percentage.

In what he said that everyone pays taxes for using their talent, Jaymo suggested that even street walkers should be taxed so that the government can recognize their business and protect them.

"You know everyone uses their talent. You pay taxes because you use your mind, someone like Kipchoge pays taxes because you use your legs... everyone uses some part of their body to make predictions. So why don't they pay taxes?" he asked.

"Even those in the street should pay taxes. You went and discussed with someone how much should they pay, it's 5 thousand, you put it in the portal, she receives and withdraws there, if the tax is deducted, then her business should also be supported and the government can protect her business."

"That street where you are sold, who installed those lights? Who laid the asphalt? Where you are sold, you are not exploited, who gives you security? That's right, we have to be smart to get taxes. We did an estimate the other day and found that they lose 5 billion shillings in taxes per day," Jaymo said.

The comedian said that it is time for the government to be more clever and know that there are many loopholes through which money passes without being taxed.
