Ezekiel Mutua has since launched a nationwide campaign to tame businesses and individuals behind rising cases of teenage immorality.
“We have launched a national campaign to sensitise the public about the danger of premature exposure of children to adult experiences and the need for societal responsibility in safeguarding the welfare of children. There’s a need for vigilance to ensure that our children are not exposed to immoral behavior during this festive season,” said Ezekiel Mutua during the launch of the initiative in Mombasa.
The moral police also bashed Gengetone groups, particularly singling out Mbogi Genje) for sharing indecent content online.
“Those kids who do Kidungi and bongi genje (Mbogi Genje) or whatever, ni watoto wa nani? Are their parents proud of them? Those kids who sing dirty things or post their nudes on social media, whose kids are they? Don’t they have parents?” The moral police posed.

Adding that;
“I am so committed to the conversations on morality. Civilisations rise or fall on account of their moral values or lack thereof. Our focus is on protecting children from exposure to harmful content.
It is immoral for any sane adult to facilitate children to engage in immoral behaviors as has been witnessed in the recent past where 44 students were arrested in Nairobi engaging in group sex, taking alcohol and smoking bang while filming.”
