“I don’t do it as a job. I am only a volunteer. But wellwishers end up giving me some money as they now have trust in what I do,” said Mzei Jemba.

Mzei Jemba is a resident of Mbulakati village, Kitibwa sun-county in Kayunga district. He said that he earns a living from farming and tax collecting from the village market.

“I have been a tax collector since 1982,” he said.

About his education, Jemba dropped out of school in 1976 after finishing Senior Four.

“During those days we used to sit for Cambridge Certificate of Education. When I got my certificate, I started hustling on my own,” he said.

He explained that limited exposure to what was next for his education journey was the reason he dropped out of school.
