Space Next Door, a popular Nakuru nightclub, posted a video of dancers in school uniforms.
The controversial clip, shared on Space Next Door’s social media pages, sparked intense criticism from Kenyans who viewed it as an attempt to normalise child indecency.
Parents, activists, and concerned citizens argued the imagery was harmful, equating school uniforms in a nightclub setting to the sexualization of children.
“Such content sends the wrong message to society and risks encouraging exploitation of minors,” one parent told reporters.
Although the video was quickly pulled down after the backlash, the nightclub has yet to issue an official statement.
Many Kenyans online demanded accountability and a public apology, saying the removal alone was not enough.
Social media users called on the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) and child protection agencies to intervene, warning that such marketing tactics cross ethical and moral boundaries.
Child welfare groups have previously flagged similar cases in entertainment promotions, often urging clubs to adopt more responsible advertising.
The incident has reignited debate over irresponsible marketing in Kenya’s nightlife industry. Analysts warn that without regulation, such stunts risk sending dangerous messages to young audiences and eroding community values.
