The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB)  has banned an Indian comedy film 'Bodhaal Do' for promoting homosexuality contrary to the Kenyan constitution.

In a statement , KFCB rated the film 'RESTRICTED' noting that it  had been scrapped from all media outlets within the country’s borders and any broadcast of the same would be a violation of the law.

“While this film is acceptable in its country of origin, India, the Board has rated it as RESTRICTED in Kenya as it propagates a worldview that is in dissonance with our constitution, culture, values and norms and could easily expose vulnerable consumers to perversion,” read the statement by the board’s acting CEO Christopher Wambua.

Adding “On this score, any films or broadcast content appearing to legalize, advocate, normalize or glorify the act contravenes the laws of our land. The film is, therefore, unacceptable and an affront to our culture and identity as Kenyans.”

“The film in question, therefore, overtly disregards our laws, constitution and sensibilities as a people. Moreover, the film tries to directly influence the viewer into believing that homosexuality is a normal way of life.”
