Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua, has demanded for the immediate arrest of popular gengetone group, Ethic Entertainment.
The CEO took to Facebook to announce that the musicians should be arrested over their song ‘Tarimbo’ that advocates for rape among women and also promotes violence. He also said that he had spoken to google to take down the 'damn crap'.
“The DCI should arrest the entire bunch of musicians called Ethic, under Article 33, for going beyond the prescribed delimitations on freedom of expression by advocating for violence against women” Read part of Ezekiel Mutua’s post.
Mr Mutua went ahead to say that the group were not artistes but demented circus thugs hiding behind art to promote indecency and immorality.
He asked DJ’s not to play such songs because no clubs should advocate for violence against women.
“Any self-respecting DJ should not play these songs. No club should allow music that advocates for violence against women.”
He urged Kenyans to rise against the wave of immorality to prevent losing a generation in the name of freedom. “No freedom is absolute. This time round we must draw the line!” He concluded.
This was the latest verdict from Mutua who is touted as the moral police who is never shy to condemn what does not go in line with good morals.
Deny Citizen TV audience, particularly the Willis Raburu crap
Last week, Mr Mutua, urged people to boycott the TV station after endless complaints that the 10 over 10 show was promoting immorality among the young people and has earned the dishonorable title due to explicit dances by skimpily-dressed ladies who grace the show every other week.
He said he had serious issues with the program, but he couldn’t ban the ‘obscenity’ since the show airs past 10pm, which is past the watershed period (5am to 10pm) according to the law.
“I personally have serious issues with this program and have condemned it in no uncertain terms. But you see, 10/10 comes past 10pm, meaning it's outside the watershed period (5am to 10pm). Our regulatory mandate as per the law is restricted to that period. Past 10pm, no underage children should be watching TV without the guidance of the parent, let alone going to an immoral live TV show at that late hour.”
Since his hands were tied on the matter, his only solution was to advise people to boycott the TV station and instruct their children not to watch the show.
“Do not abrogate your role as a parent or citizen to others. Do your part. Deny Citizen TV audience, particularly the Willis Raburu crap and it will go off air. Even a more fundamental question is whose children are these on such live TV discotheque? If their parents don't care why should I?”
