    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, the mandate of the Kenya Film Classification Board is to classify all films in the country, including those shown in the video cafes. (b) The Kenya Film Classification Board protects children from viewing harmful video content through examining and rating films according to age of the audience. The Films and Stage Plays Act, Cap.222, also requires the Board to rate all films meant for public exhibition. For example, to protect children, adults only films are rated 18 years and above. However, currently, the Board does not have adequate staff to monitor video cafes and showrooms around the country. To address this problem, the Ministry is in the process of recruiting more staff for the Board and will subsequently post them at the country level. This will enable the Board to intensify monitoring of contents of the films exhibited in the video cafes and showrooms. With full capacity, the Board will be able to ensure that all unrated films are prohibited from being exhibited in public places."
