Ezekiel Mutua fired by CS Mucheru- says Mutula Kilonzo Jnr

Makueni Senator Mutula Kilinzo Jnr alleges that Kenya Film Classification Board CEO Ezekiel Mutua has been removed from office.

In a tweet, Mutula Jnr said the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs Joe Mucheru had kicked out Mutua unlawfully despite being appointed by the Board.

“Ezekiel Mutua unlawfully removed by CS Mucheru as CEO after being lawfully appointed by the Board. Laws are mere suggestions for this administration,” reads a tweet from Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.

However, the tweet has elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans on Twitter with a section welcoming the news in jubilation, while others are still in disbelief if Mutula’s statement is factual and anything to go by.

This comes at a time a section of celebrities led by Comedian Eric Omondi have been pushing for the removal of Mutua from the helm of KFCB.

Ezekiel Mutua is yet to address the dilemma surrounding his status at KFCB.

Which begs the question: have you @SenMutula advised your party leader @skmusyoka to severe partnership agreement @WiperMovement @JubileePartyK? As it stands Wiper is an affiliate of Jubilee administration.

It really took long for him to be removed. This is the most biased CEO in Kenya. He used every opportunity to kill creativity in the entertainment industry, imposing his religious beliefs on artists. But, as a tribalist, it's not surprising that you feel aggrieved.
