The
@InfoKfcb (KFCB) has termed the regulation of audiovisual content as a vital enabler of a structured, ethical, and sustainable creative economy, underscoring its role in safeguarding consumers, enhancing content standards, and strengthening industry growth, rather than limiting creativity.
Speaking during a panel discussion themed โ๐๐๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค ๐
๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐๐๐ฐโ held on June 12, 2026, at the Unseen Cinemas in Nairobi, the Board's Senior Legal Officer, Ms. Eunice Mwanza said the mandate of the KFCB to regulate the creation, distribution, possession, broadcasting, and exhibition of audiovisual content is not meant to stifle creativity but rather create a facilitative environment that supports the monetization of creative works.
โRegulation of audiovisual content is essential for fostering a structured, ethical, and sustainable creative ecosystem, as well as for protecting consumers, particularly children and vulnerable groups, from exposure to inappropriate and potentially harmful content,โ she stated.
While highlighting the facilitative role of KFCB in spurring the sector growth, Ms. Mwanza indicated that Board is implementing targeted interventions and initiatives aimed at strengthening regulatory compliance, enhancing industry awareness, safeguarding consumers, and supporting the growth and sustainability of the sector.
KFCB is a State agency under the State Department for Youth Affairs and Creative Economy , mandated by the Films and Stage Plays Act, Cap. 222, to regulate audiovisual content to ensure it aligns with Kenyaโs culture, moral values, and national aspirations, and to protect children and vulnerable audiences from inappropriate content.
