An advert about a 'Free White men Party in Kenya', scheduled to take
place at the Serena Hotel on February 15 and 16 is causing an
uproar on social media.
According to the advert, White men are inviting only Kenyan ladies while
their black men are told not to show up at the venue.
'Free Whitemen in Kenya party.
We have organised this party to know each other and to make new friends.
Warning: Only kenyan ladies are invited. No blackmen are invited'.
Earlier Wednesday the management of Serena Hotel in Nairobi took to
their Facebook page to deny that the party is scheduled to take place at their
premises.
'It has come to our
attention that Serena Hotels ‘s brand is being used by some people purporting
to be affiliated to or claiming to host events at Nairobi Serena Hotel. These
schemes are engineered to fleece Kenyans of their hard earned money. Please be
informed that Nairobi Serena Hotel has no association whatsoever with such
individuals/groups and would not allow such events to be held at its premises.
Serena Hotels is taking the necessary action to stop this misrepresentation of
its brand by unscrupulous people.'
However, the Chief executive of Kenya Film Classification Board
(KFCB), Ezekiel Mutua also revealed that a complaint about the 'White Men and Black
Girls Only' party and has commenced investigation.
'Such parties that promote racism or indecent behaviour are outlawed by
the board line with the Film and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the law of Kenya.

affluent areas in Nairobi and Mombasa and we shall ensure the law takes its
cause.' he wrote on Facebook
