@Pakinpaul: If this is allowed to air, we will as a nation be headed to be like Sodom and Gomorrah. It's an abomination in the eyes of the LORD GOD. That is why God has placed you in power a time like now Dr. @EzekielMutua @WilliamsRuto #KFCBbansLesbianFilm

@Boncrazy1: There are lots of issues that films can be made based on. And the vice is not one of them. #KFCBbansLesbianFilm @KibetBenard_ @InfoKfcb @NellyMuluka

@KingOine: just because you allow a movie to run, does not mean you support its message. free speech is about everyone’s voice. let the movie run and if the people don't like it, it flops if not then they appreciate the message. KFCB plz reconsider #KFCBbansLesbianFilm
