The popular Andy Mack show is in its second season. It was banned after its producers added a gay character to the show.

KFCB chief executive Ezekiel Mutua on Monday said the show will not air in Kenya and "any attempt to introduce gay programming in Kenya will be met with the full force of the law.”

"Andi Mack is a story about ‘tweens’ figuring out who they are,” said Disney Channel in a statement. "(Creator) Terri Minsky, the cast and everyone involved in the show takes great care in ensuring that it’s appropriate for all audiences and sends a powerful message about inclusion and respect for humanity.”

Following the ban, Multichoice issued a statement, reading in part; "Following numerous media reports regarding the upcoming Andi Mack Disney Series, Multichoice has consulted its channel provider, Disney and would like to confirm that this show was not scheduled to air on any of Disney Channels on DStv or GOtv.”
