Raila Odinga condemns the ban of Rafiki film

Nasa leader Raila Odinga has urged the Kenya Films Classification Board (KFCB) to allow Kenyans to watch whatever they, like including banned gay film Rafiki.

This comes after KFCB chief executive Ezekiel Mutua banned the film on grounds that its content promote lesbianism.

While speaking at Oxford Union,ODM Leader said that Kenyans should be allowed the freedom of expression and the freedom to watch what they like.

He was commenting on the banning of the Rafiki film on lesbian love that premiered at the Cannes festival.

The film, telling the tale of two young women whose fathers are political rivals, is the first-ever film from Kenya to get a slot at the world’s most prestigious cinema festival.

During its premiere at the Cannes festival, the team received a standing ovation from those in attendance.
