Former Chief Justice has weighed in on the work that is being done by officials at the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB).
Writing on Twitter in a reply to a tweet by a local mainstream television station, the former president of the Kenyan Judiciary expressed hope that the mental health of the officials was being catered for given the nature of their work.
He said that having to watch and listen to pornographic content in a bid to ensure that only clean content is being consumed by the public is not a healthy undertaking.
"I hope Mutua and his board members have a special medical cover for their difficult job as MORAL POLICE OFFICERS. Watching porn, twerking, nudity, and hearing sexually suggestive lyrics as their terms of service cannot be a healthy undertaking, " Willy Mutunga wrote.
His intervention comes in the wake of KFCB's decision to ban Ethic's 'Tarimbo' from the airwaves and having the song's video pulled down from YouTube.
Dr Mutua had called for the Ethic group members to be arrests, calling them thugs hiding behind art.
“I have spoken to Google to take down the damn crap called Tarimbo by Ethic Entertainment which advocates for rape of women. Promoting violence against women is criminal and 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," Dr Ezekiel Mutua said.
