Who pays musicians now? https://wearethemusicmakers.co/news/2026/08/kenya-mcsk-barred-collecting-royalties-kecobo-kamp Kenya's High Court has barred the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) from collecting royalties while it appeals the regulator's refusal to license it, weeks after another society, KAMP, had its licence suspended, and days before the regulator dissolved KAMP's board.
