The Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) Wednesday suspended Mt Kenya TV’s operations for a month for violating programming standards. The Authority took this decision after it received complaints against the vernacular channel over the airing of inappropriate content last week. Authority acting director-general Mercy Wanjau said the TV channel which is owned by Slopes Media House Ltd, had aired inappropriate content during the watershed period. ‘On April 19, 2021, at 2pm, during the ‘Mucii wa Ciina’ programme that featured an animated movie, the station aired sexually explicit content, drug abuse, robbery, and violence,” she said. Further, CA said that the channel aired the content without acquiring the requisite intellectual property rights against the Kenya Copyrights Board’s requirements.
