Kenya Film Classification Board ‘Boss’ Ezekiel Mutua has gone hard on the 10 over 10 show saying that it is one of the shows that poses as an entertainment yet it promotes immorality among the Kenyan youth.
Ezekiel Mutua gave his reasons saying that the show has for the longest time staged as a show that airs music and entertainment yet most of the time it ends up rousing the youth sexually.
Linking it to the scary rate of teenage pregnancies, Mutua says that that the 10 over 10 show could be one of the contributing factors to the rot among Kenyan Youth.
Mutua also described the hosts and the artists who grace the show as irresponsible. The 10 over 10 show is usually aired on Citizen TV every Friday from 10 pm.
This is not the first time that the show has been on the spot. In July Mutua angrily blasted the show over claims of promoting nudity after hosting Singer Akothee.
The KFCB boss in his recent post said that it does not matter whether the show comes late in the night that does not make it right, and the fact that children are at home for the holidays makes it even worse.
These sentiments comes a day after the 10 over 10 host Joey Muthengi, graced the show for her last time announcing that she will no longer be part of the team.
Have a look at his message.
“Joy says to the cheering fans as she signs off her last on 10/10 that she is going to the club after the show. She’s of course dressed the part. These are the role models for our youth.
Is it any wonder we have such scary rate of teen pregnancies? 10/10 has promoted immorality among the youth in Kenya probably more than any other program in the country.
I am told last night it was scatological obscenity paraded on a studio that is for all intents and purposes a club and a live discotheque.
The youths are mobilized from the ghettos and entertained wildly the whole evening, cheering madly as they are being sexually turned on by irresponsible show hosts and artistes.
Where do they go and what do they do after the evening of sexual arousal? Your guess is as good as mine. Although this show comes after the watershed period (past 10pm), it’s dirty and putrid.
And the kind of rot aired last night is inappropriate and irresponsible given that kids are on holiday and likely to be watching. The intention of this show is to sexually turn on the youth.
It promotes immorality and the sole purpose for airing it is not to promote music or entertainment. No. It’s a tool for sexual perversion and wickedness.
I wish the owners of the station could use the frequencies to promote real creativity within the bounds of ethics.
They can defy decency and regulations all they want, but one day we shall have a country where media houses are not platforms for promoting perversion and sexual immorality to destroy our youth.” reads post in part
