  1. Kenya Association of Music Producers, Performers Rights Society of Kenya and Music Copyright Society of Kenya applaud Hon. Justice Weldon Korir for safeguarding the Constitutional rights of copyright

As you are all aware our operating licenses were revoked by Kenya Copyright Board on 23rd August 2021. Displeased with this decision, we filed an urgent application before the High Court Constitutional and Human Rights Division at Milimani.
