‘OBSCENITY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE’ GEOFFREY MOSIRIA CALLS OUT ALICIA KANINI

Chief Officer for Environment, Geoffrey Mosiria, has publicly addressed the recent actions of Alicia Kanini, who shared a nude and morally degrading video showcasing inappropriate sexual behaviour. 

Mosiria expressed concern over the act and the celebration from some members of the public. “It is deeply concerning that Alicia Kanini has chosen to publicly share a nude and morally degrading video that openly exposes her inappropriate sexual behavior. Even more troubling is the silence and celebration from some quarters, as if such acts deserve praise,” Mosiria stated.

He further questioned the message being sent to young girls and future generations. “As a society, we must ask ourselves: What message are we sending to our young girls and future generations? Are we endorsing obscenity and immorality as acceptable forms of expression?“

Mosiria also cited the Kenyan Penal Code, Chapter 63, Section 181, which criminalises the production, distribution, or possession of obscene material intended to corrupt morals. “Obscenity is not just a moral concern; it is a criminal offence under Kenyan law. Any person who makes, produces, or has in his possession for the purpose of sale or exhibition, any one or more obscene writings, drawings, prints, or any other object tending to corrupt morals, is guilty.“
