The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) has ordered the pulling down of unrated and inappropriate content circulating on diverse media platforms.

In a statement, KFCB said that artistes Chris Embarambamba and William Getumbe's latest songs have violated the Films and Stage Plays Act.

“The song titled ‘Niko Uchi’, which is purported gospel, invites ridicule to the Christian religion, also contains nudity (and) vulgarity. It has further been noted that some of the artiste’s dancing styles are violent and others present imitable behaviour, which if copied by children/minors, can be dangerous and disastrous,” KFCB acting chief executive Nelly Muluka said.

Muluka says KFCB, through its Media Monitoring Department, has received a myriad of complaints and public outcry on inappropriate audio-visual content by the artistes.

"Some of the content is being propagated as art and freedom of expression and disguised as religious songs, contravening the law, in utter disregard for the interests and safety of children and the public at large," Muluka stated.

"The unpalatable songs, which also contravene Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya are circulating on social media and other media platforms, eliciting sharp reactions and outcry from the public. The song titled 'Niko Uchi' which is purported gospel invites ridicule to the Christian religion, also contains nudity, vulgarity. It has further been noted that some of the artist's dancing styles arc violent and others present imitable behaviour, which if copied by children/minors, can be dangerous and disastrous."
