It is only 2 days left for until the ban on Rafiki Film is reinstated. Film Director Wanuri Kahiu has today announced that the movie will be aired in different parts of the country including, Kisumu and Mombasa. After Saturday the ban continues.
KFCB CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua has put up a poll to ask on whether Kenyans support the ban of homosexual content or not. Could this be intentional? Could this be a move that would change his mind? Well it is only a matter of time until he speaks in response to the poll. Probably after the votes.
Let’s take a vote on the homosexual content. Do you support @InfoKfcb’s ban on gay content?

This poll has caused a debate as KOT have sought to give their views and express how they feel about homosexuality. Here are some of the comments
What if your child turns out to be gay Dr. Mutua? What will you do? Is being gay a choice or a genetic defect? Love and leave them be…. They are God’s creatures after all

No, I don’t.. I feel by banning it @infokfcb is being hypocritical of what is going on… There are many movies already on netflix and other platforms with much more gay content… If watched by adults, they have a freedom of choosing whether to like it or not.

I support these 3 things
1. BAN!
2. BAN!!

Earlier on this had been one of Mutua’s statement in regard to the film. “The debate on “RAFIKI” is not about freedom. It’s about our essential values. The hullabaloo about artistic freedom is a decoy. The big agenda is to corrupt our culture and moral values, and to kill the institution of family”
Following the poll, maybe this might change but Mutua has remained clear that he strongly supports the ban ever since the debate began.
