Apparently Nothing Was Stolen From Elani, Here Is Why Elani Got Only 31, 000 KES From MCSK

After weeks of being bashed and even rightly criticized for their handling of the artistes’ royalties, MCSK has finally responded to the issue. In a telephone conversation with Pulse, the MCSK CEO has come out defending the allegations and clarifying certain aspects regarding the issues raised by MCSK.

According to the CEO, the money was not to cover all their rights as it was only broadcast royalties and not inclusive other rights like mechanical rights. The 300,000k which the group was later called for was to cover up an earlier error by the MCSK which saw them fail to monitor Elani’s songs from 2013 July to 2014 June and the amount was compensation for the period. He explained that such errors do happen to other artists as well.

Well, it is proving that this is not going to be a one time debate alone, as the issue keeps up rearing its head with other artistes coming out. MCSK also lamented the inability and/or unwillingness on the part of the radio stations to submit logs as part of the cause for discrepancies and challenged Elani to provide where they got the comparisons logs from.
