The Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK), Kenya Association of Music Producers (KAMP) and the Performers Rights Society of Kenya (PRISK) have commenced payment of SKIZA monies to artists with music on the SKIZA platform. This is following payment of KES 152 million to the Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) by Safaricom. Prior to the release of these monies, Liberty Africa and Xpedia Management Ltd had filed a suit against the three Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) contesting the payment of SKIZA royalties through the three CMOs. On 11th May 2016, Justice Mumbi Ngugi dismissed the petitions in favour of the CMOs.This therefore means: All royalties shall be paid through the CMOs and not through Content Service Providers (CSPs) All rightsholders are entitled to a fair compensation for exploitation of their works This is indeed a great victory in the music industry for the rightsholders because: The percentage revenue paid to rightsholders has increased to 15% net of administrative expenses Through the CMOs, the artists will be able to access reports and information on download data and therefore ensuring transparency and accountability Through the CMOs’ initiative, Safaricom has agreed to increase royalty payments as follows: July 2015 – June 2016 15% July 2016 – June 2017 17% July 2017 – June 2018 19% July 2018 – June 2019 20% July 2019 onwards - 20% Following the new developments, KAMP & PRISK call upon all rightsholders with works on the SKIZA platform to continue declaring their works with us by visiting our offices. We would like to reassure all SKIZA rightholders of transparency and efficiency in disbursing their royalties and providing all the necessary data in line with the distribution.
