Kenya Films and Classification Board Chief Executive Officer Ezekiel Mutua has warned musicians against using obscene language in their music.
The CEO said from now henceforth, every artiste must use family friendly language in their music. He added that it’s embarrassing to listen to some music, especially with family members.
“Musicians and comedians do not have to use obscene or vulgar language to be popular. The idea that “oversexualising” content makes it cool is a lie. Music is a powerful tool for building values and must be used for such – to promote, not undermine values. Use of obscene stage names and music titles is BANNED in line with the Film and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya”,said Mutua in a Facebook post.
Mutua,whose diplomatic passport was confiscated over boastful remarks, said he will crack the whip if his targets won’t comply.
