I do not normally agree with self-appointed media censor Ezekial Mutua, who gained notoriety recently for banning the film Rafiki because of its homosexual content, but I think we should not dismiss his claims that some Kenyan music videos are so crude and offensive that they should not be viewed by the public, especially the youth.

The number of women who regularly sunbathe topless has plunged in the past three years from 29 to 19 per cent, according to a survey of 5, women by the French Institute for Public Opinion.
