Ezekiel Mutua

The self-proclaimed president of comedy, Eric Omondi, has come out to reveal that he is remaining celibate till marriage and sex will no longer be part of his life.

In an interview that he shared on Instagram, Omondi, who is preparing for the premier of his new season of Wife Material, stated that he is keeping himself pure until he marries, adding that he hopes people will respect his decision.

“I personally I’m not a lover, I’m not a fan of sex and sex is not something that I can think about or I’d love to do.”

According to Eric Omondi, sex is a distraction that will derail his successful comedy career.

He seemed to clear the air, especially given that his reality show had been criticized for its racy, and frequently explicit, content.

He added that he wants to focus with his career adding that sex before marriage is a distraction therefore he wants to keep himself pure.

His show had become controversial, running into headwind after the former KFCB chairman Dr. Ezekiel Mutua castigated him and demanded an investigation into the comedian’s conduct regarding the controversial Wife Material show, claiming it depicted sexual, immoral, and indecent content.

According to moral cop as dubbed by many, young girls were being duped into watching the how and were being forced to commit immoral acts.

Dr. Mutua also claimed that the public were subjected to sexual acts that degraded societal morals and misled young people into copying acts that are against the African culture.

But Omondi who has now promised a bigger and better season of the show says he is focused on his career and is keen on avoiding anything that would bring negative impact on his career.

After a seven-year hiatus characterized by allegations of high handedness and corruption, the 2020 Kisima Film and Music Awards was finally held on Sunday 13th December at the Sarit Expo Center in Westlands.


The organizers had promised a flawless process that embraced a pan African outlook adding film categories to their repertoire thus it was a no brainer when ‘clean’ content champions Kenya film and classification board (KFCB) sponsored the rejuvenated Awards.


According to Dr Ezekiel Mutua, the partnership with KISIMA was a perfect nexus with their ‘Sinema mashinani’ initiative. Further, they had agreed to partner in nurturing raw talent with emphasis on ‘clean’ content.


It came as a shock however when Genge tone group Mbogi Genje were nominated and even more shocking when the group won best group award beating Kenya’s favourite boy band Sautisol.

A clearly disappointed Dr Ezekiel Mutua, took to his social media platforms to distance himself from the Mbogi Genje win; ’While I support the public’s right to choice and vote, it was my understanding that by sponsoring this Awards, KFCB’s clean content mandate would be upheld. Dr Mutua added that he has nothing personal against the new school rap group but is against people sanitizing vulgarity.

‘’We stand on the pedestal of promoting clean content, and we shall remain focused, morality cannot be traded as art “He added.

Zamaradi Media’s Dream Child Film scooped the clean content award in tandem with efforts to promote child friendly content and to encourage compliance with content regulations and procedures including adherence to film licensing and classification guidelines.

The clean content award winner received a Ksh 1,000,000 award from KFCB.
Dream Child was nominated in five categories including Best feature film, Best lead actor, Best supporting actor and Best supporting actress.
Kenya Film Classification board had sponsored the award with an agreement that artistes with clean content, rooted in the African story and those that promote clean morals would be feted.

Just recently, Dr Mutua at a press conference pleaded with creatives to desist from corrupting young minds with vulgar content. Kenya Film and Classification Board had sponsored the Kisima awards to the tune of Ksh 5,000,000.


The awards were also attended by Devolution CS, Eugene Wamalwa and former Nairobi Town clerk Philip Kisia.
CS Wamalwa also supported KFCB’s drive for clean content while awarding the cash prize.

Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutua has strongly opposed a lock down in Kenya as a measure of containing COVID-19.

The moral cop through his official twitter account on Monday termed the lock down as a bad idea.

Mutua who demanded to know the people pushing for the lock down noted that majority of Kenyans live from hand to mouth, and a lock down would be a bad idea for them and their relatives.

He cited that the government should only come up with the lock down as a solution after coming up with a plan to feed Kenyans who will be affected.

“Who is pushing this lockdown crap and why? Salaried people sitting in the comfort of their homes can pontificate to others about lockdown. Those who live from hand to mouth or have relatives and friends who do, a lockdown is a bad idea, unless there’s a plan to feed the people!” he posted.

However, while appearing in a video interview at K24 TV in a show dubbed punchline on Sunday night, government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna said Kenya has not yet reached to point of locking down.

Oguna said that the country is not yet ready to declare a lockdown since the cases have only been reported in seven counties, with most of them concentrated in one county.

“The first factor would be the eruption of infections sustained in many counties and the health systems are overwhelmed. Right now we are talking about 7 counties,’ he said.

Oguna was clear that locking down the nation is not a one man decision, citing that all government agencies have to put their heads together before coming up with such a decision.

Instead, he said that they were urging people to obey the directives issued by the government to ensure that the number of confirmed cases remain the way they are.

Currently, Kenya has recorded a total of 142 confirmed coronavirus cases, with four recoveries and four deaths.

Moral cop Ezekiel Mutua has slammed Embakasi East MP Babu Owino over his latest remarks against Kandara MP Alice Wahome.

Babu Owino on Saturday took to social media promising to shave every part of Alice Wahome that has hair should she fail to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and former premier Raila Odinga.

“Alice Wahome must respect Baba and President Uhuru or we will shave every part of her body that has hair.This is not a threat it’s a promise,” Babu Owino posted.

Mutua says politicians are okay to exchange barbs for political mileage but Babu Owino’s language is unacceptable.

He termed the language as crude and barbaric, noting that the language must not be accepted in a civilized society.

Mutua says political leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth.

“It’s ok for politicians to differ and to exchange barbs for political mileage, but this kind of language from an MP is unacceptable. It’s crude and barbaric and must not be accepted in a civilised society. Our leaders are behaving badly and setting a bad example for the youth!” he posted.

Dr Mutua’s comment came moments after Nairobi women representative Esther Passaris tore into Babu Owino over the same remarks.

Passaris termed the post as a disrespect to women, urging Babu Owino to pull it down.

“Babu respect women. You can only shave your wife not a fellow legislator, or any other woman without their explicit consent. Any action to the contrary will be an act of defilement. I am extremely disappointed with this post. Pull it down. There’re boundaries we should not cross,” she tweeted.

Anywhere you go, shout Wamlambez and definitely you’ll get a reply, Wamnyonyez. These statements have become part of our culture and ain’t nobody can ban us from uttering them anywhere we go be it locally or countrywide.

The most annoying part is, artists release music appealing to the ears of Kenyans only for the hits to get banned for airplay after some time.

I mean this is an indication of high levels of pretense or hypocrisy by those running the MCSK.

Kwani nyinyi ndio saints nini? Recently the head of Kenya Films and Classification Board (KFCB) Ezekiel Mutua went to twitter saying that the song wamlambez Wamnyonyez has been banned but Kenyans didn’t take it quite easy.

For the longest years now, MCSK has been paying peanuts to artists a clear indication that some fishy business usually goes on in there. Maybe they fill their pockets with artists money which is really annoying considering the amount of time effort they put to come up with a hit song.

For four months now, we’ve been listening to wamlambez Wamnyonyez until the guy decided to throw the bomb terming it as sexually explicit. Why then allow music from abroad to air then ban our own? Look for instance songs Cardi B or Nicki Minaj and other musicians from the international level release,the videos are way to dirty for some audiences. But our song wamlambez, a song which everyone sings the chorus along,from the young to the elderly, someone decided to wake up one morning and banned it!

Kama siko wrong najua even Ezekiel Mutua himself finds himself humming the chorus in his mind sometimes.

Why should he bring his stress to work? Why would he ban some songs that young upcoming artists have worked on, of which they turn out to be bangers? We as Kenyans haven’t raised issues about the hit song,in fact we like it and we will always dance to it while singing along for a very long time now. Even people in the diaspora are trying to sing it,this shows if Mutua can only stop killing artists dreams,we could be recognized internationally.

Sailors killed it and made a hit song of the year. My fellow country men, Wamlambez Wamnyonyez ain’t going nowhere, it’s here to stay for the longest time. The feeling that it brings when you are at a party or any other social function then the coordinator shouts Wamlambez, the crowd will reply with Wanyonyez and its simply exhilarating.

Wamlambezzz……..
