KFCB Sensitizes Students on Creative Economy Opportunities and Responsible Content Consumption
The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) has urged youth and students aspiring to careers within the creative economy to leverage and explore the opportunities that the Government is putting in place for socio-economic empowerment.
Addressing students undertaking Mass Communication at Mombasa Aviation Training Institute, who paid a courtesy visit to the Board on Thursday, 16th April 2026, the Ag. CEO, Ms. Nelly Muluka, noted that there are numerous opportunities that young people should explore within the creative economy. She further indicated that KFCB is committed to creating a facilitative and supportive regulatory environment to spur industry growth.
Ms. Muluka also urged the students to consume audio-visual content responsibly, be ambassadors of clean content, and leverage technology in pursuit of their careers, noting that technology is the future of work. She further advised them to use the internet responsibly.
“We are committed to continued collaboration with Mombasa Aviation Training Institute and other learning institutions across the country to empower and mentor upcoming filmmakers, media practitioners, and others within the creative space, in line with the Board’s Consumer Advisory Role and Stakeholder Engagement Policy,” she said.
The Board’s Technical Officers, led by Mr. Brian Ombayo, Mr. Wycliffe Bosire, and Mr. Hezbon Orina, sensitized the students on the Board’s mandate, with key focus on film registration, film licensing, film examination and classification, compliance, and monitoring, as well as other initiatives that the Board is spearheading.
In his remarks, Mr. Kevin Makyotto, Head of Department, Mass Communication at the Mombasa Aviation Training Institute, appreciated the Board for its continued mentorship and sensitization of students over the years.
“We are happy that KFCB has continued to mentor our students through capacity training and sensitization, and we look forward to future engagements,” he said.
Learning institutions are among the Board’s key stakeholders in the Media Literacy Programme and Public Sensitization initiative dubbed: YouAreWhatYouConsume, which is aligned with the Board’s Consumer Advisory Role.
