Comedian Eric Omondi has hit back at Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua who criticized him harshly over content he shared on social media.
Mutua claimed that Omondi's content was for adults yet it was unrated, exposing children to adult experience pre-maturely.
However, in an Instagram post, the comedian told the KCFB boss off and accused him of allegedly using his name to seek cheap publicity .
“Dr Ezekiel Mutua. This is your last warning. Stop using my name for these cheap publicity stunts. I have never understood exactly what you do for a living. You have not helped the Entertainment Industry in any way, " said Omondi .
He wrote his sentiments under the video of Mutua he shared showing how the KFCB boss reprimanded him.
The comedian challenged Mutua to use funds he used to fly to Mombasa to call a press confrence and criticize him to expand the entertainment industry.
“Hiyo pesa ungenipatia niongeze nazo Cameras Kwa Studio zangu so that we shoot more videos for young talented Kenyans. Please Visit Eric Omondi Studios and see what we are about to do to help young and upcoming talents. Don’t ever address me or use my name again. You don’t know my story!!! You dont understand my process!!!” Omondi added.
Mutua reprimanded Omondi while launching a national campaign in Mombasa to sensitise the public about dangers of premature exposure of children to adult content.
He added that the campaign will also address the need for societal responsibility in safeguarding the welfare of children.
The KCFB boss posed, “People like Eric Omondi…. You are showing your face on videos in a way that is not appropriate and you are an adult, then call yourself king of comedy in Africa, then why don’t you respect yourself?”
He urged Omondi to put a disclaimer on his videos to warn his followers and fans that the content is strictly for adults.
