KFCB Meets Nation Media Over Co-Regulation

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) Ag. CEO, Mr. Christopher Wambua, today led the Management in a meeting with the Nation Media Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Stephen Gitagama.
They discussed the KFCB's proposed Co-Regulation Framework for broadcast, Video on Demand (VOD) and Over the Top (OTT) content.
Mr. Wambua pointed out that the film and broadcast content regulation environment has expanded, hence the need for collaboration in ensuring compliance.
He further said that KFCB has developed a framework of engagement to guide the same. 

"The proposed Co-Regulation Framework will, therefore, see the involvement of industry players in the examination and classification of content meant to air on their respective platforms," said Mr. Wambua. 
Under the proposed framework, the Board intends to classify only 30 percent of the content that targets the traditional broadcasting and new media platforms. To ensure compliance, the local film and broadcast content regulator shall undertake regular audits on 70% of the self-classified content. The guidelines have already undergone public participation.
