Jesus is my final answer









We wanted to have a concert on Saturday lakini @SakajaJohnson na watu wake @ShaffieWeru wachukui simu. Watupatie Uhuru Park tufanye concert on Saturday to honour those the government murdered. Sakaja can we get access to Uhuru Park on Saturday as is? Who do we speak to?







This letter is part of the intimidation plan. Why would you stoop so low to malign people or intimidate them with such? On 25th January we were at Safari Park hotel doing distribution. How can someone claim that we were not able to account for monies that we were distributing the same day? Where's fairness in these tactics? Umesahau that these dirty tactics were used against you and the President?

Dear @EzekielMutua, yaani, we are paying musicians peanuts as royalties and paying the collectors millions. and you find nothing wrong with that model? Musicians = PEANUTS/ Per Year . CMOS CEO = 1.3M Per month. Hii apana! Let us empower our artists, on that, like Paul in Scripture, My Eyes are firmly on the finishing line!

It has been years of GUESSWORK and empty rhetoric. GOK licencing will no longer be an avenue to enhance the misery of artists. Skiza. Performance rights. Creation of new platforms are part of the package. We are sorting it ALL. Prepare for a digital CMO, not a CMO with a digital platform. 80% of what MCSK does can be done by a digital platform so that artists pocket the full benefits.

A licence is a matter of regulation. To ensure CMOs are free of fraud. A Digital CMO is one way to ensure that what is collected in the name of artists reaches them. The CMO does not have to be MCSK or X or Y. My only conflict on this matter is my desire to resolve it once and for all with the scales tilted in favour of artists. If you are preparing for court as you have been threatening, instruct the lawyer to prepare in advance, my friend, because it will go E-Citizen so that musicians can be in control. They work so hard, with little resourses, they deserve to get the outcome of their sweat. We will sort out this issue. That I promise you.



@OleItumbi A license from the Government is not a favour. It's a service. Even banks, media houses and private companies are licensed. That doesn't make the Government part of the administration. You are conflicted on this matter and you will end up embarrassing the President. We have seen tyrants and powerful people who play God with their positions. Remember Mucheru was harassing me at KFCB because of supporting your boss. Now you are in power and you think that we are small people that you can talk down on, but there's God in heaven.

I agree with you that copyright is private property, but CMOs get a license from government to collect royalties, and that license is subject to rules and regulations from GOK. Prepare for E-citizen, and yes you have a right to go to COURT, but musicians have the right to earn directly for their creative work.. The digital platform will be a CMO. We will align that digital dream with the law. All focus on the artists!



Kenya is a signatory to the Bern Convention as well as WIPO which dictate against interference by the state on administration of copyright as a private property. The Government shd support CMOs with enforcement and enact proper policies to protect Intellectual property. World over music business is run privately through CMOs because Government is not good at doing business. In fact, this Government has already announced its intention to privatise most of its parastatals to make them more profitable. It would therefore be a contradiction in terms to meddle in the running of private music businesses.
