Controversial Gospel Singer Christopher Mosioma alias Embarambamba has complied with the Kenya Film Classification Board's (KFCB) demand to delete all inappropriate music videos uploaded on social media platforms.
In a statement on Friday, March 15, KFCB said it has confirmed the gospel artist has deleted the indecent music videos.
“The Board can confirm that the artist has since deleted hundreds of indecent music videos on his YouTube channel,” read the statement in part.
KFCB also noted that Embarambamba issued a public apology over his non-compliance and committed to creating, distributing, and exhibiting content that conforms to Kenya's culture, moral values, and national aspirations.
Embarambamba had been served a demand notice by the board to delete all inappropriate music videos and pay licencing and classification fees accrued from his music videos.

Embarambamba through his lawyer Danstan Omari responded to the notice by requesting for an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in line with Article 159 of the Constitution of Kenya.
The gospel artist, Omari and other members of his legal team on Thursday held a meeting with KFCB management at the Board's Uchumi House offices in Nairobi.
They deliberated on matters of compliance, and mainly the demand notice which the board issued to Embarambamba over non-compliance with the Films and Stage Plays Act, Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya.
Meanwhile, KFCB announced that William Getumbe who was arrested on Tuesday night would be arraigned in Court on Friday.
Getumbe was arrested after the lapse of a seven-day demand notice issued to him for violating Sections 4 and 12 of Cap 222 governing the creation, possession, distribution, and exhibition of audio-visual content in Kenya specifically in the 'Yesu Ninyandue' music video.
