The Performing Artists and Visual Rights Society of Kenya has distributed Sh43.6 million in royalties to 5,911 creatives this year, up from Sh24 million last year. Speaking during its Second AGM, Chairman Edward Waigwa said lengthy court processes have delayed creatives’ access to their earnings, raising concerns over transparency and accountability. KECOBO Chairman Joshua Kutuny said collective management organisations that failed to meet regulatory requirements had been dismantled.
