Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) boss Ezekiel Mutua's political ambitions have been met with ridicule on social media after he posted a portrait of himself captioned: 'This photo will one day be on campaign posters and billboards for a very big seat!'

On September 7, 2019, Mutua, who is known for his self-proclaimed role as a moral policeman, made the announcement, which was met with a barrage of cheeky responses from Kenyans on Twitter.

Some of the responses included:

  • 'And dancing to Tetema' - Sen Mutula Kilonzo JR (@SenMutula)
  • 'Mpaka ujibu, “WAMLAMBEZ”….. hakuna kura tutakupa.' - Ali Abdi (@alyco101)
  • 'There you go. Raha jipe mwenyewe.' - Dj Naad (@Dj_Naad)
  • 'Free advice,stay away from politics, utapakwa matope' - Senior Chief Nderi?? (@ItsNderi)
  • 'Again looking for a job after all those years you can’t think of a business and you want the youths to start businesses after college?' - John Kinyanjui Mbugua (@kulnyash)
  • 'Sir, this would be better.' - kaTana (@iamKatan_a)
