Moral cop Ezeikel Mutua angered by mating wildebeests sculpture erected at JKIA

Ezekiel Mutua, the head of The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) and a man who Kenyans believe is the official moral cop in Kenya, is not happy yet again.

This time round is because of a statue erected at JKIA which has two wilder beast mating.

Sexually suggestive

Mutua was angered by the sculpture which he called immoral. He called it thoughtless.

“This sculpture is bizarre and thoughtlessly sexualized. The sexual connotation depicted in this sculpture adds no value to the marketing of Kenya to tourists arriving or leaving JKIA,” he said.

“It’s the work of a dirty mind trying cheaply to sell their creativity. It is not different from the dirty minds who sexualize adverts on TV or on outdoor advertising.

“This sculpture would not lose any value if the animals were simply grazing in their natural habitation. The mounting aspect sends a wrong message and the sculpture must change,” he said. 

Adding:

“It fails our suitability criteria for content or information meant for public exhibition. We should not allow such bizarre ads and marketing strategies that are meant to create unnecessary sexual innuendo. We need to sober up!”
