- The billboard was advertising a condom brand
- The public raised questions to the county government prompting its removal
Following public outcry, an outdoor advertising company has been forced to bring down a billboard in the City that was bearing explicit message advertising a condom brand.
The billboard that was mounted near T-Mall on Langata Road caused a stir as the public felt it carried an offensive message.
It displayed a man with a well-toned body with the hands of a woman on his chest. The image was coupled with a message that read “Ni poa dame akicome first.”
On behalf of the Nairobi County Government, Justus Kathenge, the county’s Planning Chief Officer said that they urged the advertising company to pull down the billboard due to its offensive message.
“We received complains from the public. Since we regulate billboards when the public perception on messages they carry does not go down well, we advise for their removal,” he said.
