KFCB CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua has spoken in regard to the High Court’s move to lift the ban on controversial gay movie for 7 days. In a thread of tweets shared on his account, he describes the movie as shameful.
In his words, he says “It would be a tragedy and a shame to have homosexual films defining the Kenyan culture. That’s not who we are and homosexuality is not our way of life”
He has remained stern about his stand and opinion in regard to the Rafiki Film which according to him is against the Kenyan culture.
Shortly after Kenyans showed their excitement, he went ahead to give a warning to public theaters that will exhibit the film without the Boards approval.
If people want to screen the homosexual film in their houses that’s fine. We are watching to see which public theatre will exhibit it without the Board’s approval.

Shame on those foreign NGOs who want to use gay content as a tool for marketing the film industry in Kenya. SHINDWE!
