The Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) on Monday, March 4 held a meeting with controversial gospel artist Christopher Musioma popularly known as Embarambamba at the KFCB Uchumi House offices in Nairobi.
In a statement, KFCB said the gospel artist, who had been summoned by the board, was questioned over his incident content which contravenes laws regulating the creation of audio-visual content.
“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,” read the statement in part.
Embarambamba was also put to task over the use of vulgarity, nudity, indecency, and violent dancing styles in his content, specifically in his recent ‘Niko Uchi’ song.
The board directed the musician to delete all indecent music videos uploaded on his YouTube channel and other social media platforms within two days failure to which further legal action will be taken against him in line with Cap 222.
KFCB also ordered Embarambamba to submit all his music videos to KFCB for examination and classification for age appropriateness.
Further, he was instructed to acquire a filming license from KFCB before embarking on any new productions and submit the same for classification for age-appropriateness before exhibiting to the public.
Embarambamba regrated the indecent videos and agreed to adhere to the three demands.
“While expressing remorse for the indecent content, Embarambamba agreed to adhere to the demands/advisory issued by the Board in the demand letter,” KFCB added.
