Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has confirmed to the public that the controversial ‘Tumekudinya discount’ advert is fake and non existent.
The Nairobi Governor stated that the billboard which has been making rounds on social media is purely photoshop.
Sonko concluded that the billboard was photo-shopped after he sent his officers to confirm whether the billboard bearing the sexual slang TUMEKUDINYA exists.
His team took a photo of the billboard and made it clear that the GOTV advert is written ‘Tumekudunga discount’ as opposed to the sexual slang.
The Photoshopped image had set the Internet on fire this evening with some questioning about it’s authenticity.
KFCB Boss Ezekiel Mutua had addressed the matter saying that if indeed the billboard is real then the County Government officials should revoke the license of the advert immediately
” I am told kudinya is a sexual slang. It’s Ghetto language for sexual intercourse. In the name of creativity, advertisers are sexualising everything under the sun. I hope this poster being circulated in social media is fake. If it is real, the County Government officials who licensed the billboard should revoke the license immediately. This is unacceptable. ” he said in his post
Ezekiel Mutua also issued an update after Governor Sonko’s clarification stating that Multichoice management confirmed to him that the poster circulating on social media is fake.
They also noted that there is no campaign like that by Gotv.
Mutua also thanked Governor Sonko for his quick action noting that this is the kind of collaboration the nation needs to protect children from exposure to harmful content.
