The @InfoKfcb (KFCB), a State agency under the @SDY_Ke, mandated to regulate audio-visual content in the country, cautions that increased access to television, streaming platforms, social media, and online gaming may expose pupils and students to inappropriate content, which could negatively influence their behaviour, values, and overall development.

To this effect, @InfoKfcb, through its Consumer Advisory function, urges parents, guardians, and caregivers to closely monitor and guide children's audio-visual content consumption during the ongoing mid-term break, and guide them appropriately. The Board also reminds video-show and play station operators, gaming platforms, and film exhibitors to strictly adhere to content classification guidelines and ensure that children access only age-appropriate content.

To promote safe media consumption among minors and children, the @InfoKfcb encourages parents, caregivers, and guardians to set screen-time limits, use parental control tools, monitor online activity, promote educational and family-friendly content, and engage children, under their care, in discussions about what they watch. Parents are also advised to supervise online interactions and report harmful content to KFCB via [email protected].

The @InfoKfcb remains committed to enhancing parental awareness of emerging technologies through its Parents Digital Literacy Programme (PADIL), which equips parents, caregivers, and guardians with the skills to guide children in safely navigating the digital space. @NellyMuluka

As part of its consumer advisory function, the @InfoKfcb (KFCB) remains committed to enhancing parental awareness of emerging technologies through its Parents’ Digital Literacy Program (PaDiL), aimed at equipping parents, guardians, and caregivers with the skills needed to safely monitor and guide children’s consumption of audio-visual content across digital platforms.

In today’s digital environment, children are increasingly exposed to content through smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, and online streaming platforms. This makes active parental guidance more important than ever, especially during school holidays and mid-term breaks when screen time often increases.

The focus is not just on access, but on what children are consuming and how long they are exposed. Research has shown that film and media content influence the behaviour and thinking of consumers, especially children, who are highly impressionable.

The issue is ideally not the gadgets, but the need for parental controls. These include enabling device-level restrictions, activating content filters, setting age-appropriate profiles, using safe search settings, monitoring watch history, and setting daily screen time limits.

Beyond controls, parents are encouraged to set clear routines for screen time across all devices, including smartphones and smart TVs, while also encouraging offline activities that support learning, creativity, and family interaction.

Online safety is a collective responsibility. Protecting children from exposure to inappropriate content requires collaboration between parents, guardians, caregivers, regulators, and digital service providers, ensuring a safer and more responsible digital environment for minors.

The Kenya Film Classification Board is a State regulatory agency in the State Department of Youth Affairs and Creative Economy, mandated under the Films and Stage Plays Act, Cap. 222, to regulate audiovisual content in Kenya, ensuring alignment with the country’s moral values and national aspirations while protecting children and other vulnerable audiences from exposure to inappropriate content. @Waziri_Mvurya @NellyMuluka @fikirini_jacobs @nellymuluka @moyasa_ke @SDY_Ke @SpokespersonGoK @koske_felix @citizentvkenya @KBCChannel1 @KenyaNewsAgency

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 “𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦 𝐋𝐚𝐰” 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.

“Regulation 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,” 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.
