[kictanet] Banning of the FILM Rafiki

Mon Apr 30 14:50:50 EAT 2018

KFCB always makes roadside pronouncements that would not pass any legal
threshold.

And quoting the Bible here is imposing your religion on others who believe
in different deities.

Ebele, No, there is no State religion in Kenya, and our constitution
recognises freedom of worship.

Article 32 of Kenyan Constitution:
32. FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE, RELIGION, BELIEF AND OPINION

(1) Every person has the right to freedom of conscience, religion, thought,
belief and opinion.

(2) Every person has the right, either individually or in community with
others, in public or in private, to manifest any religion or belief through
worship, practice, teaching or observance, including observance of a day of
worship.

(3) A person may not be denied access to any institution, employment or
facility, or the enjoyment of any right, because of the person's belief or
religion.

(4) A person shall not be compelled to act, or engage in any act, that is
contrary to the person's belief or religion.
