    "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 being shown in video cafes. (b) The Kenya Film Classification Board protects children from viewing harmful video content through examining and rating of films according to age of the audiences. 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. Further, the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) is also finalizing the development of a programme code for free to air radio and TV broadcasters. The requirement for broadcasting licensees to comply with the programming code shall be embedded in the relevant broadcasters’ licences when new licences are issued in future under the new licencing regime. The code will set standards which broadcasters shall be required to observe with respect to broadcast content. The code will also define watershed period during which airing of programming intended for adult audiences shall be prohibited in order to protect children or minors and promote good morals in the society."
