On June 26, 2021, Ezekiel Mutua, the CEO of the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB), expressed his concerns about the ongoing 2021 World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally, stating that it was gaining hype as a hub for 'impunity'. He claimed that Kenyans were not selling their culture but were using the Rally as a 'venue of absurdity and immorality.'
Comedian Eric Omondi, however, took issue with Mutua's statement, saying that the KFCB boss was being hypocritical. Omondi likened Mutua to a parent who encourages bad behavior and invited him to attend the rally instead.
'You are like a Parent who finds his children sweeping the house and asks them to keep the dirt and garbage under the Carpets instead of taking the trash outside. Hiyo nyumba bado itanuka tu,' Omondi said. 'I challenge you Sir to stop making these statements from the Comfort of your office in Nairobi and come down to Naivasha and experience and Witness the beauty that is Safari Rally.'
