KFCB Restricts Wamlambez, Tetema to Clubs and Bars Only

By Omondi Otieno 

The Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) has restricted the playing of Tetema, and Wamlambez hits outside clubs and bars in Kenya.

In a series of tweets, KFCB, under the leadership of Ezekiel Mutua, noted that the two songs had explicit content which was not suitable for minors.

Mutua, noted that the songs have not been completely banned, but should only be played in adult clubs and bars.

“Tetema and Wamlambez songs are strictly forbidden outside of clubs and bars. The lyrics are dirty and not suitable for public consumption, especially mixed company or where children are likely to be watching or listening. Both songs are pure pornography,” KFCB tweeted.

“While we may not ban them because they are coded, it's important for the public to know that they are dirty and unsuitable for mixed company. Let them be restricted to clubs, strictly for adults!” the Board added.

Tetema, a song by Rayvanny and Diamond, and Wamlambez by Sailors are among the most watched and listened to songs in Kenya at the moment.
