Kenya’s music and copyright industry has received a boost after KAMP Copyright and Related Rights Limited rolled out its Quarter One (Q1) distribution programme, releasing more than Sh7.25 million to members and rights holders.
KAMP said it has distributed 70 per cent of its Q1 collections, amounting to Sh7,254,790, under its approved distribution framework and in line with regulatory requirements.
The payout marks the first phase of the organisation’s annual distribution cycle and is expected to benefit both local and international rights holders represented by the collective management organisation.
KAMP noted that the distribution, commonly referred to as Pay for Investment Distribution, has been carried out under both the General Distribution Framework and the Catalogue-Based Distribution Framework.
According to the organisation, the model is designed to ensure royalties are allocated fairly based on approved rules, catalogue declarations, ownership records and other eligibility criteria. As a result, members will receive varying payouts.
