Boniface Mwangi slams Ezekiel Mutua on Twitter after ‘socks’ condom advert criticisms

Activities Boniface Mwangi had some really sharp words for KFCB Boss Ezekiel Mutua after he took to social media to criticize the “socks” condom advert airing on most TV stations.

According to Mutua, the advert doesn’t meet the standard requirements of the board and should be stopped from airing during watershed period.

“Following complaints and concerns raised by a cross-section of Kenyans regarding the “socks” condom advert airing in most Tv stations during prime time, the Board today launched investigations on the matter and has established that the advert was not submitted for examination and classification in line with the requirements of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222.” said the CEO.

It’s the second time he’s come out to complain about the advert that has also left many parents uncomfortable. He promised Kenya that the advert will be pulled down since it’s obscene.

“The airing of the advert is therefore in contravention of the law and the producers, distributors and broadcasters will be held liable for the breach. The Board has given instructions to its lawyers to proceed and prosecute the concerned institutions for the breach,” read his statement.

Blame money

Adding:

“These condom adverts do not promote safe sex or protection. They sensualises the product. It’s more of business than safety campaign.

KFCB supports sex education and the campaign for safe sex, but condom adverts, just like all other adverts must be submitted to the Board for examination and classification in line with the law. Condoms must not give misleading information or target the wrong audiences.”

Mwangi was not loving his take and fired back with some really piercing words.
