Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) boss Ezekiel Mutua has been ordered to surrender his diplomatic passport to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Mutua, who is in the US attending Google's Web Rangers Global Summit at its headquarters in Mountain View, California, kicked up a storm on social media when he posted his visa on Facebook in an imperious jibe at his detractors.
