IT'S A THUMBS UP ON THE SKIZA ROYALTIES.

Justice Chitembwe has pursuant to an Application filed by Safaricom on the request of KAMP & PRISK clarified his Orders in Petition No.5 of 2016.He stated as follows;

“That artists shall have the right to receive their royalties through channels of their choice. Artists who wish to be paid through the CMOs shall have the liberty to do so and Safaricom shall be under obligation to honour their wishes. Those who wish to be paid through other channels likewise shall have the liberty to do so.”

Justice Chitembwe's ruling clarifies his Orders in Petition No. 5 of 2016 in which Safaricom had construed the Orders to mean that all Skiza royalties are to be paid through the CSPs/PRSPs
