why do we need a film commission at all, or a film classification board... we want everybody to access all kinds of information and learn for themselves to be critical... we are not babies! (BTW... we have the internet now, and everybody does....)

The government, lets leave Mutua out of this the man cannot draft a bill without authority, desires to control the conceiving, imagining and creating artistic expression. Not only is this illegal and contrary to the constitution is smacks of dictatorship of the worst order.

We can't allow this Orwellian type of governance to thrive. We must fight it.

Many of the provisions under this bill are unconstitutional. Too many are also open to abuse. There's a good reason that the provisions under Cap 222 relating to Stage Plays were repealed in 1997. To bring them back through the guise of 'classifying plays' would be against the spirit and letter of the constitution. To extend the mandate of the board to the other genres as proposed would make things worse than even during the Nyayo Era. And even if KFCB was to stick to film only, the kind of draconian regulations proposed here would smother the film industry.

The Film Bill is a threat to our artistic freedom, it must be condemned in the strongest terms possible. Also, KFCB has lost its mandate. It should be disbanded forthwith!
