in imagination and possibly the evidence of the beginning of the end of an era. That prank, plus the meru-accent-laden village wag’s ‘dirty’ talk disguised as bicycle ride is against the Programming Code for Free-to-air radio and television services in Kenya,
KFCB CEO Ezekiel Mutua.
“This is a family show and it airs during the watershed. To try and popularize it through cheap sex talk is a breach of the law and betrayal of trust of the program’s family audiences. Any celebrity who makes money by pushing dirty content to corrupt the moral values of our children is no better than the politicians looting our country. Its impunity and it’s wrong!” wrote Mutua.
And Kenyans rallied behind him for a change after months of demonizing him for being strict on the kind of content that should be pushed on TV and social media.
“Pathetic is the word, never got any joke from it,” wrote Samara Juliette.
“Great work Ezekiel Mutua Today #churchillshow was disgusting,” wrote Infinity Kim.
“I totally agree with you so disgusting, nothing in terms of entertainment,” wrote Dominic Makau.
Kenyans took to social media to vent their outrage at how X rated the Churchill family comedy has become.
“Luckily my family switched off Churchill Show long ago. Too many insensitive ‘jokes’,” wrote Mwenda Ikiara.
Churchill then took to social media to apologize for the show being off air, saying this was because of a technical hitch.
People called him out wondering how there could have been a technical hitch at the station when adverts and a documentary aired for the remainder of the time.
