Court declines to halt musicians’ royalty collections
The artistes claim that they have suffered loss of economic rights and damage due to the actions on the part of the Kecobo, the Ministry, the Attorney-General, and MCSK.
A fresh court battle has erupted between artistes, the Kenya Copyright Board (Kecobo), and the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK), over alleged mismanagement of funds collected from music and art consumers in the form of royalties.
Central to the ongoing dispute initiated by musicians Justus Ngemu and Saul Esikuri is the alleged loss of Sh56 million at MCSK. This amount had allegedly been received as royalties for artistes and musicians.
