Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua has stated that Kenyan popular Facebook group, Kilimani Mums, deserve to be given a Cabinet slot.
On Thursday, Mr Mutua, who has been dubbed the Kenyan moral policeman, posted on his Facebook account that the group forms important conversations that might be at the center of a national policy.
“I think Kilimani Mums deserve a Cabinet post. The conversations there can inform national policy. I got into the group by default,” Mr Mutua stated.
The KFCB boss applauded the group for holding conversations that were useful despite the group being dubbed Ubiquitous.

“So every so often I get a notification on FB and on checking I stray into some very strange but useful conversations. This is an online Bunge la Mwananchi per excellence,” Mutua remarked.
"How were Kenyans surviving without these platforms? People ventilate on all manner of topics, but the most striking thing is that Kilimani Mums resembles Kenyans in the diversity- the serious, the funny, the peculiar, the intelligent… name them,” he added.
In his post, Mutua commended the members of the group for allowing Kenyans of all walks of life to find space in Kilimani Mums.
Hes also noted: “And unlike Kenyans on Twitter, another robust army of netizens with opinions on all subjects under the sun, Kilimani Mums has no political inclinations”.
“I think the President should consider a Cabinet slot for these hilarious group of Kenyans who provide such stress relief and humour,” he stated.

Additionally, Mr Mutua noted that his office could work with the Minister to provide guidelines for classification of Kilimani Mums content on a self-regulatory model.
