The Garissa MP also wants the government in conjunction with the National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee, to hinder access to porn websites by persons within Kenya.
This move was affirmed by Secretary-general Francis Atwoliwho stated "This is an issue of public health concern and not freedom of speech and or access to information as provided in the Bill of Rights".
According to the COTU boss in his statement on Monday, Pornographic content has a major negative impact on the youths in Kenya and therefore needs to be illegalized.
"Censorship of pornography will go a long way in also promoting and ensuring workers demonstrate good ethical behavior at their place of work," he added.
Atwoli also added that the bill will be of importance since workers’ safety is a major concern to Cotu and its tripartite partners.
