This is a tough one. One can almost see where Bwana Mutua is coming from. Yet on the other hand Bwana Wangusi is absolutely correct. The two gentlemen should meet over a cup of coffee and agree how to execute their mandates without stepping on each other's toes :-) Ali Hussein Principal Hussein & Associates +254 0713 601113 / 0770906375 Twitter: @AliHKassim Skype: abu-jomo LinkedIn: http://ke.linkedin.com/in/alihkassim "Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". ~ Albert Szent-Györgyi Sent from my iPad

The Kenya Film Classification Board is overstepping its mandate by policing content aired by broadcasters, the CA has said.

Communication Authority Director general Francis Wangusi said on Thursday that the KFCB is only mandated with rating aired content, not controlling it.

“We are not aware of the parameters they use to classify content," Wangusi said.

"As far as we know they are only supposed to advise on terms of general viewing and parental guidelines on above-18 content. That is the far they can go."

Wangusi noted that the authority has the sole mandate of monitoring programming codes.
