In January 2011, gospel musician Rebecca Wanjiku registered the copyright for her song "Rungu Rwa Ihiga" (Under the rock), believing it would prevent unauthorised copying.
But despite this registration, a men’s choir for the Christ is the Answer Ministries (Citam) church later incorporated parts of her song into their mixed performance titled “Athuri Mwihithe” (Men seek refuge), leading to a copyright infringement case and a court order for the church to pay her Sh1.5 million damages.
