Kenya Film Classification Board boss, Ezekiel Mutua, has barred politicians from dancing to Diamond Platnumz's popular Tetema song in public.
Mutua also stated that, henceforth, both Tetema and the highly popular Wamlambez song by the Sailors' gang, would no longer be played outside nightclubs and bars.
"Tetema and Wamlambez songs are strictly forbidden outside of clubs and bars. It's embarrassing to see even national leaders singing and dancing to the obscenity in public," an excerpt of Mutua's statement revealed.
He went on to reveal that the lyrics were full of pornographic innuendos, making it unsuitable for public consumption.
"The lyrics are dirty and not suitable for public consumption, especially mixed company or where children are likely to be watching or listening. Both songs are pure pornography," he divulged.
Most netizens were quick to laud the government's efforts to totally ban similar songs, arguing that the current high level of decadence could be directly linked to these songs.
"Voice of reason and sanity in an increasingly depraved society. Keep shining the light in the midst of darkness," Rachel Musonye posted.
However, a considerable fraction of Kenyans was of the opinion that Mutua's move was a perfect example of the government swooping in to action after the damage was already done.
"Why raise your voice when the songs are in our bloodstreams already. Wamlambeezz!" Mwikari Mulwa posted.
Mutua maintained that the government would not relent in its fight to ensure the safety of the public from moral decay.
"While we may not ban them because they are coded, it's important for the public to know that they are dirty and unsuitable for mixed company. Let them be restricted to clubs, strictly for adults!" he asserted.
