Music copyright of Kenya (MSCK) CEO Dr. Ezekiel Mutua has expressed his outrage over the song 'Yesu ninyandue' by William Getumbe.
The song has received much criticism from Kenyans who find it offensive and disrespectful to Christianity since its release.
Dr. Ezekiel took to his social media (Facebook) to demand the song be pulled down from all digital media platforms as soon as possible, detailing that it was madness and that a conversation with content creators was due.
"My attention has been brought to the overtly blasphemous song by one of our local artists. That kind of content should be pulled down from all digital media platforms with immediate effect.
But more than banning such madness, I think we need a conversation with our content creators. It must be a candid conversation at all levels and sectors of society including the family, the community, and the country at large. We cannot allow this madness to become the norm. "
In the detailed post, Mutua also counseled on cultural morals and how immorality for views has been normalized.
Such so-called artists come from families. Have relatives and close associates. You mean no one could counsel them and stop them from pushing that madness into the airwaves?
You see we have normalized immoral, bizarre, and obscene content and behavior to the extent that for one to get views on social media the easy thing is to do crazy stuff. They say when a dog bites a man it's not news. News is when a man bites a dog. That approach to life is validated by the culture of anything goes. It's given impetus by the broken value system where evil is glorified and good is mocked and degraded.
Our moral code is in tatters and we are staring at a crisis. The fact that a sane person can record and distribute such outrageous content speaks to who we are as a society. We are a sick society provoking the wrath of God. We have allowed indiscipline and blasphemy on our media in the name of freedom of expression." Dr. Ezekiel stated.
His statement was received gladly by netizens with a majority of them thanking the MSCK boss for his stand.
