Mbulamwana says this is because many of the deaf members are really poor.

He adds that it complicates their communication problems and access to essential services such as education, health, justice, worship and news and information.

He meanwhile adds that as the deaf they are already suffering from a communication gap where many misunderstand some of the key government campaigns adding that with the OTT tax, the deaf community is headed for bad times.

Government introduced the OTT tax and mobile money tax in order to bring in revenue and improve the distribution of taxation.
