Comedian Eric Omondi has been arrested by the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) compliance officers in conjunction with Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives for violating the provisions of the Films and Stage Plays Act.
In a statement by KFCB, the 'President of comedy Africa' was arrested Thursday afternoon for producing and distributing unauthorized ‘Wife Material’ films, contrary to the Act’s provisions which, among others, prohibits the exhibition or broadcast of films without a certificate of approval from the regulator.
“The said comedian will be arraigned in court for contravening the law… The Board will take all possible legal means to curb production and exhibition of unauthorized films on any platform meant for public exhibition. Protection of children from exposure to harmful content remains our core mandate. Any artist producing content for public consumption must ensure that they comply with the provisions of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya,” read the statement in part.
