Artists across the country can now breathe a sigh of relief after the Performing and Audio-Visual Rights Society of Kenya (Pavrisk) renewed its license to collect royalties.

The renewed license by the Kenya Copyright Board (Kecobo) will see the society collect the royalties and distribution in the music and audio-visual sectors across the country.
