Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Dr Ezekiel Mutual has dismissed claims that he has been fired by Cabinet Secretary for Ministry of Information and Communications Joe Mucheru. 

Through his official Twitter account, Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Jnr had alleged that the CS unlawfully fired Mutua as the CEO. 

“Ezekiel Mutua unlawfully removed by CS Mucheru  as CEO after being lawfully appointed by the board. Laws are mere suggestions for this administration,” Kilonzo Jnr wrote. 

In a quick rejoinder, Mutua dismissed the claims as ‘malicious rumours’, adding that there is no vacancy for his position at KFCB at the moment and so he cannot be fired. 

“My attention has been drawn to reports on social media to the effect that I have been fired as CEO of KFCB. Please ignore such malicious rumours. I am not aware of such developments and there can be no grain of truth in them as there’s no vacancy in the office of the CEO KFCB,” said Mutua. 

Mutua joined KFCB in October 2015 and served his first term until 2018 when KFCB directors renewed his term for three more years. 

His first term was rocked by controversy due to his hard stance on issues especially those touching on morals earning him several enemies both on mainstream and social media.

Mutua was also embroiled in a bitter fight with film producers and directors, a recent incident being the ban on Kenyan gay movie Rafiki.
