Kenyan digital creator Mokaya has raised concerns over the removal of videos from TikTok, questioning whether the government has intervened in the platform's operations.

Mokaya's Frustration Over Video Removals

Speaking during a TikTok LIVE session on Friday, November 13, 2026, Mokaya expressed frustration over the challenges content creators are experiencing when sharing videos on the social media platform.

The creator questioned why videos were being taken down shortly after being uploaded, saying the situation was making it difficult for creators to share their content freely.

"TikTok saa hii unapost video inatolewa, halafu tukikaa chini tuseme serikali ni mbaya, mnasema sisi ndio wabaya," Mokaya said.

His remarks highlighted the frustration among digital creators who depend on social media platforms to share their work, grow their audiences and earn a living.

Questions Over Possible Government Intervention

Another part of his remarks, Mokaya questioned whether government intervention could explain the developments, saying he was even considering uninstalling TikTok because of the experience.

"I might even uninstall that app because the moment you post it is removed within a few minutes. I don't know what happened. Did the government intervene?" he said.

Mokaya further appealed for support, arguing that the situation could affect upcoming creators who are still working to establish themselves in the digital industry.
