@EzekielMutua just look at your arrogance and ignorance. Acquaint yourself with the 4th schedule para 4 of the constitution then with some level of common sense. Your attitude is quite is distasteful and disgraceful to public service. Rest assured we have summoned you. pic.twitter.com/o7bRzQ3QmA

KFCB should not implement any form of rules which will have a negative impact on the creative industry. The Youth are turning to the creative industry as an alternative source of employment and we can't stop them! @InfoKfcb

I’ve just spoken to @EzekielMutua on this and he has asserted that @InfoKfcb are not charging for Youtube and Facebook filming. I have summoned them to the Senate next week together with other stakeholders so that we can agree on how to support the Creative Industry.
