Moral and ethics police boss Ezekiel Mutua who faulted a section of condom adverts on Kenyan audience has been dealt with a hard tackle from human activist Boniface Mwangi.
Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Mutua wanted such adverts to be submitted to his docket for vetting.
“Following complaints and concerns raised by a cross section of Kenyans regarding the “socks” condom advert airing in most Tv stations during prime time, the Board today launched investigations on the matter and has established that the advert was not submitted for examination and classification in line with the requirements of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222,” said the KFCB CEO.
KFCB CEO also added that such broadcasting was against the law.
“The airing of the advert is therefore in contravention of the law and the producers, distributors and broadcasters will be held liable for the breach. The Board has given instructions to its lawyers to proceed and prosecute the concerned institutions for the breach. KFCB will issue a comprehensive statement on the matter tomorrow,” he added.
Boniface Mwangi however was against his ‘strict’ policing nature
Mutua has no business in people’s bedroom and if he did, he should be promoting safe sex. His moral crusade is stupid. Kenya lacks values not morals. @EzekielMutua boss is in the list of the most corrupt but he can’t even stutter the word corruption. His focus? Our sex lives. pic.twitter.com/GjLo26iIpx

Finland had 4.5 million people in 1963, Kenya had 8 million people. Today Finland has 4.5million people and Kenya has over 50 million.A condom is a contraceptive and disease preventer. If your dad had used a condom,our youth would have being spared of your ignorant moral crusade. https://t.co/iUXmdApL57
