KFCB - Kenya Film Classification Board

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) is a State corporation established under the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the Laws of Kenya (1998).

Our role is to regulate the creation, broadcasting, possession, distribution and exhibition of film content.

In so doing we promote culture, national values and aspirations, as well as protecting children from exposure to harmful content.

The Kenya Information and Communications Act (KICA) empowers us to impose age-related restrictions on content.

This ensures that any content depicting or containing scenes that are rated as adult, or is delivered in a language intended for adult audience, is not aired during the watershed period (5am-10pm).

The law also mandates us to enforce the Programming Code for Broadcasting Services.

This regulation stipulates that all programme and non-programme matter – commercials, infomercials, documentaries, programme promotions, programme listings, community service announcements and station identifications – are verified and classified before they air.
