On August 27, 2019, Ezekiel Mutua, the former CEO of the Kenya Film Classification Board, made a decision that would impact the music scene in Kenya. He banned the song Sailor's Wamlambez from being played in public places outside of clubs.
The ban was likely a response to the song's explicit content, which may not be suitable for all audiences. Mutua's decision aimed to regulate the type of music that is played in public spaces, ensuring that it is appropriate for everyone.
