KAMP rejects Sh5.5m embezzlement claims, challenges KECOBO license suspension
The battle over Kenya's music royalties has escalated after Kamp Copyright & Related Rights Ltd. (KAMP) strongly rejected allegations by the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) that led to the suspension of its operating licence.
KAMP said it was "dismayed and deeply concerned" by the decision, arguing that the suspension came despite ongoing engagement with the regulator.
The organisation said it had recently signed a service level agreement with eCitizen for royalty collection in the presence of KECOBO leadership, describing it as proof of its commitment to transparency.
KAMP dismissed allegations that it embezzled royalty funds, saying it only became aware of the claims through KECOBO's public notice.
