<\/a><\/p>\nBroadcasters be warned<\/h3>\n
The moral cop warns TV stations of dire consequences. Mutua says KFCB won’t hesitate to take action against any broadcaster who plays ‘Melanin’ during watershed period.<\/p>\n
“The Board will not hesitate to take action against any broadcaster or exhibitor who shows the video during the watershed period and\/or in establishments where children are at risk of viewing it,” Ezekiel Mutua tweeted.<\/p>\n
Mutua further says that Sauti Sol should be in the forefront in following the law. He states that the group ought to have warned consumers of their content.<\/p>\n
“A band of Sauti Sol\u2019s stature should be in the forefront in following the law and even warning consumers of their content that the video should not be accessed by children as it explores an adult theme. It is unfortunate that a reputable band like Sauti Sol would resort to sideshows in this important matter rather than complying with the law in their operations.”<\/p>\n
