Artistes have praised MCSK for distributing Sh37.5 million to musicians from licensing performance in public places. "I would like to encourage other artistes who have not registered with MCSK to do so, so they can start making money as well," he said. Jua Cali then said transparency between the artistes and MCSK will help the industry grow. Nyashinski, who was among the top earners, took to Instagram to thank his fans, the TV and radio stations for supporting his music and told the other artistes that they could borrow loans from him. He thanked President Uhuru Kenyatta for supporting artistes after declaring content service providers will channel all payment of royalties.
