Gender Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki, has told the Media Council of Kenya to order KTN TV to pull down video of Miguna Miguna and Esther Passaris exchanging on Jeff Koinange Live show aired this week on Wednesday.
Kariuki said that the video contained unwanted and abusive language when Miguna and Passaris exchanged over rape during the show.
She said on Saturday in a statement that the release of behind-the-scenes video from the show to the public was a humanity degradation act, and must be rejected.
"The comments shared online further highlighted that we still have a long way to go as a society towards changing our attitudes towards gender based violence," she said.
"The sorry scene was made equally worse by the collective failure of the several actors who stood by and watched from a distance," she added.
The CS wanted to know why the KTN crew failed to stop the continued assault.
"Why didn’t anyone step in? Who were behind the scenes? Who were these silent actors?. The fight against Gender Based Violence will only succeed through the efforts of those who take action," Sicily said.
She assured the public that the government shall not stop fighting against violence against any gender, and further asked Kenyans to join the world in celebrating 16 days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) beginning November 25.
