Classification Board (KFCB) Chief Executive Ezekiel Mutua has banned popular
songs; Tetema by Diamond Pltanumz and Wamlambez by Sailors.
“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,” he wrote on
Twitter.
“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!” he continued.

The songs, the
moral policeman said, will be played strictly in clubs and bars. They are, he
said, obscene and “not suitable for public consumption, especially children.”
Maintaining that
the songs cannot be banned completely because of their coded message, Mutua
noted that they are purely pornographic “unsuitable for mixed company.”
Wamlambez has in
four months become an anthem with over three million views on YouTube. Tetema
on the other hand has been out for six months now.
