Youthful actor Roy Ogolla has been arrested for accusing The Kenya Film Commssion of incompetence.

It all started at Facebook where the actor/filmmaker drew mixed reactions but has gradually galvanised into a concerted lobby with a host of reports through the social media network citing many ills at the commission.

Last week, Ogolla took his campaign to the corridors of power with letters to the offices of the Prime Minister, the permanent secretary Ministry of Information and the Public Service Commission, calling for a thorough investigation of the commission.

He accussed CEO Peter Mutie and two other officials of the commission of drawing excess per diem of Sh465,000 each for a 14-day stay at the Cainnes Festival in France, way beyond the stipulated 10 per cent of an individual’s salary.

Ogolla also claimed that the Film Commissioners International event at Santa Monica, California USA, KFC requested separate funds for a booth and a stand yet they are one and the same. On that particular occasion, one official put in a claim of $170 (Sh14,450) daily as a cost for hiring a driver in America yet there is no evidence of such an engagement.

This arrest has seen top actors unite and demand his release.

“Roy Ogolla has been illegaly arrested for his efforts to expose the rot at the Kenya Film Commission…all activists, film makers, artists should add their voice and cal for his immediate release,” read Lizz Njagah’s Facebook Status Update.
