Singer KRG the Don and Alvindo summoned after failing to obey Ezekiel Mutua’s Ban on Takataka

Musician KRG the Don of Fast Cash Music Group and singer Alvindo are in hot soup after deifying KFCB orders imposed on their hit song Takataka.

A letter seen by Pulselive.co.ke, indicates that the two have been summoned to appear before the Kenya Film and Classification Board (KFCB) before May 2nd, 2019.

The two found themselves on the wrong side of the law after ignoring a ban imposed on them and proceeded to release a video for the song “Takataka”.

The song was banned two weeks ago on grounds of obscenity and promoting violence against women.

Ezekiel Mutua's take

“It was shocking to hear that the producer has launched the video despite our ban and the summons to appear before the Board. There's absolutely no heroism in despising a ban by Government. . Today I met officers from the who are investigating several cases of violation of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222"

"The DCI submitted to our offices 230 DVDs impounded in Malindi and other parts of the country to our offices for examination and classification. The materials will be used as exhibits in charging the culprits. Police are also narrowing down on the producer and composer of the song "Takataka" banned recently by the Board for its misogynistic relics. ” Rewads
