Taking to Twitter, Mutua said the only thing they are against is dirty content.
He added that all they are doing is protecting children against exposure to adult content, by promoting clean content.
"The war is not against artistes or the youth. It's against dirty content. The intention is not to harass artistes or stifle creativity. The idea is to promote clean content and protect children against exposure to adult content!" said Dr. Ezekiel Mutua.
