KFC demands first Kenyan gay film-'Rafiki' after a premier nomination at the Cannes Festival. The Kenya Film Classification Board would like to announce that a local film titled ‘Rafiki’ produced by Awali Entertainment Ltd and directed by Wanuri Kahiu has been RESTRICTED due its homosexual theme and clear intent to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law. The Board notes with great concern that “Rafiki”, which was submitted to the Board for examination and classification on 10th April 2018, contains homosexual scenes that run counter to the law, the culture and the moral values of the Kenyan people. Indeed, it is our considered view that the moral of the story in this film is to legitimize lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the Board’s content classification guidelines and the constitution of Kenya.
