KFCB decides to give Embarambamba a second chance.

Written by on March 5, 2024

Controversial musician Christopher Mosioma aka Embarambamba’s meeting with The Kenya Film Classification Board couldn’t forestall the inevitable.

Yesterday, the powerful board which had met over the singer’s ‘indecent content’ ordered him to delete all music videos uploaded on his YouTube channel and other social media platforms within the remaining two days of their earlier demand notice.

In their statement, the uncompromising board warned the musician of the potential legal action they would take against him were he to fail to do so.

“Embarambamba was hard-pressed to explain why he had blatantly contravened Sections 4 (Part II) and 12 of the Cap 222 governing the creation, broadcasting, possession, distribution, and exhibition of audio-visual content in Kenya.”

“The artist was further put to task over the use of vulgarity, nudity, indecency, and violent dancing styles in his content, specifically in the ‘Niko Uchi’ song, among others,” KFCB said.

That wasn’t all! The board even told the embattled singer to submit all his music videos to KFCB for examination and classification for age appropriateness.

Lastly, they stated that Embarambamba has to get a filming license before embarking on any new productions!

KFCB finished by revealing that Embarambamba had agreed to adhere to the advisory issued by the film classification authority.

Last week, Embarambamba and William Getumbe received an order to remove their latest songs from all media platforms due to a violation of the Films and Stage Plays Act.

Nelly Muluka, the acting CEO of KFCB, stated that their songs, namely ‘Niko Uchi’ and ‘Yesu Ninyandue,’ respectively, infringe upon the law and pose a threat to the safety of children and the general public.
