Nonini applied to terminate his membership with MCSK in a notice dated February 17, 2021. The termination came into effect on 18th May 2022.
"The human society is the extension of the individual. If we really want a radical change in anything, if we want a better world, better leadership and better structures. We need to change the things that are not working by understanding you have the power individually!." posted Nonini.
Kenyan artistes have always been complaining of being paid peanuts in the name of royalties by MCSK and other bodies.
MCSK is mandated to provide for a fair formula for sharing of revenue from ring back tunes between artists/copyright holders and telecommunication companies.
