Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua has issued a warning to Kenyans recording unsavoury videos of other people.
“Making videos of others while naked, with or without their approval, is a breach of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222. No film or class of film for public exhibition shall be made without a filming license from the Board. Now you know!” Mutua wrote.
Others opined that the law only applies to films. Here are some of the reactions: @wilter_sarah “See your life. Where were you when Bridget Achieng was humiliated? Where were you, sir?” @Nita_salome “Now you speak up on this rampant vice because one of your own is involved. Where have you been all this time?” @NyutheDennis “We had some other video since last Sunday. You never talked. Please remain silent.” @wakili_chapchap “You are over-reaching. The object of Cap 222 is to control “cinematography” film for public exhibition. Read the preamble of the Act and definition of word “film” in Section 2.”
