Churchill calls Ezekiel Mutua to apologize for distasteful sex jokes… But the KFCB CEO refuses to do away with sanctions against Churchill Show
Ezekiel Mutua has stand his ground despite Churchill apologizing for last night’s horror; the Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) CEO maintains that Churchill Show must be punished.
For starters, Sunday March 5th 2017 episode of Churchill Show was hijacked by obscene jokes that sparked uproar from Kenyans.
Churchill, who had maintained that the jokes were just creativity, has since eaten the humble pie. Ezekiel Mutua has revealed the comedy king called him to apologize.
The KFCB boss disclosed that he has forgiven Churchill on a personal level, he encouraged him to use last night’s blunder to rebrand and make Churchill Show the family program it’s supposed to be.
“I have received a call from Mwalimu King’ang’i this morning regarding the unfortunate episode of the Churchill Show last night. He has apologised and taken full responsibility and requested that I pull down my post. I do so in good faith and in reciprocity for the mature manner in which he has handled the matter. I do so because I believe people make mistakes and learn from them. We all know the contribution of Mwalimu King’ang’i in developing talent in Kenya. We salute him for his outstanding contribution and hope that he will use last night’s blunder to rebrand and make Churchill Show the family program it’s supposed to be. All programs airing between 5am and 10pm should be suitable for family viewing. Churchill Show is not any other program. This has been the top stand-up comedy show in the region for years. It’s a family show that builds talent and brings laughter to our sitting rooms. To allow the pathetic adult jokes that have come to characterise it lately is unfortunate.” Wrote Mutua in part.
The no nonsense KFCB boss has however refused to expunge sanctions against Churchill Show, he explained that the decision is meant to ensure that the mistake is not repeated.
“While at a personal level I accept the apology the Board will pursue this matter to ensure the mistake is not repeated and will mete the necessary sanctions on the Show. Our message to you Churchill is simple: You are talented. You are a mentor to many. Mungu amekutoa mbali. Please don’t use your talent to corrupt the moral values of our children. Give us clean content. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE OBSCENE TO BE POPULAR!”
