Ezekiel Mutua Bans Public Playing Of Tetema And Wamlambez Terming Them Pure Pornography
CEO Of Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) Dr. Ezekiel Mutua has banned playing Kenya’s favorite Gengetone Wamlambez and Diamond feature with Rayvanny Tetema outside clubs.
According to Mutua, KFCB has banned the songs because “The lyrics are dirty and not suitable for public consumption, especially children.”
He, however, has admitted that the songs are already coded in the listener’s heads making it totally difficult to permanently ban them from existence so is their circulation.
Here’s what Dr. Mutua posted on his verified Twitter account.
Both songs are pure pornography. While we may not ban them because they are coded, it's important for the public to know that they are dirty and unsuitable for mixed company. Let them be restricted to clubs, for adults only! @InfoKfcb

Tetema and Wamlambez songs are strictly forbidden outside of clubs and bars. It's embarrassing to see even national leaders singing and dancing to the obscenity in public. The lyrics are dirty and not suitable for public consumption, especially children. @InfoKfcb

In April this year, Mutua also banned ‘Takataka’ a song by Alvin aka Alvindo.
The KFCB CEO described the song as obscene with degrading lyrics that advocate for violence against women by equating them to trash.
“Moving forward, the song should not be performed live or broadcast anywhere within the Republic of Kenya. No DJ should play the song either on a broadcast station or in entertainment joints,” read the statement in part,” said Mutua.
