Struggling TV station Mt Kenya streamed porn.
Since the porn was a cartoon one targeting children, the sexual offences act 16 (1) (a) prohibits such acts, porn is illegal in Kenya.
“Any person including a juristic person who— (a) knowingly displays, shows, exposes or exhibits obscene images, words or sounds by means of print, audio-visual or any other media to a child with intention of encouraging or enabling a child to engage in sexual acts”, the sexual offences act.
Netizens (Kenyans on Twitter and other social media platforms) asked why no action has been taken by Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB).
