A concerned Kenyan has had a request to ban Sauti Sol’s hit song, Suzanna, denied by the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB).

The individual wrote a letter to one of the local dailies explaining that the song was unfit to be played in public, suggesting that the meaning behind Senje as used in the song had been corrupted and that the group intended to promote vices such as incest. The complainant asked the board to act against the song.

“Senje is Luhya for aunt – the sister of your father. How then can it be that a nephew and his aunt have a relationship?” the complainant posed.

The writer added that to fall in love with your father’s sister is unheard of, incestuous, an abomination and illegal.

Mutua now says he submitted it for review by the board.

However, after a thorough review of the song, KFCB gave the song a clean bill of health saying the song meant much more than what the petitioner, in this case, claims to know.

“The Board’s Broadcast Monitoring team has analysed the song and given it a clean bill of health on grounds that it has no classifiable elements and is therefore rated GE (General Exhibition) meaning that it’s suitable for viewers of all ages.

This complaint was brought to our attention this morning. It’s in regard to a song by @sautisol. I submitted it to our Broadcast Monitoring team for analysis and it has been given a clean bill of health and rated as GE (General Exhibition), i.e suitable for all family viewing. pic.twitter.com/NVZtNca2JI
