Promise
After a lengthy meeting, the two parties came to the conclusion that while no further action would be taken against the singer, the song Takataka would be pulled down from all online platforms.
“Content that glorifies violence against women or any other segment of society will not be tolerated and unscrupulous individuals who use art for incitement or glorification of such acts will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” said KFCB.
Alvindo further promised that he’ll release more educative songs following his two new songs. The 21-year-old singer said followed up Taka Taka with “Kunguni” which wasn’t well received.
“If I release a next song, it will be a song with a message and one that sends a positive message to society,” he said.
The Board remains committed to ensuring that artists comply with the laws governing the creative industry and that freedom of expression is not abused to offend common decency or go against our moral values. 6/7 @EzekielMutua @dailynation @PeopleDailyKe pic.twitter.com/QgDmnN6CI6
