CMOs at loggerheads over royalty collection

PAVRISK CEO Joseph Njagi

The Performing and Audio-Visual Rights Society of Kenya (PAVRISK) is once again at loggerheads with other Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) over what it deems as misleading and a misrepresentation of existing joint operations among the CMOs.

According to a letter from its lawyers, The Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) and the Kenya Association of Music Producers (KAMP) allegedly sought to fraudulently obtain monies from users, directing them to deposit the funds into an account controlled by MCSK.
