Public Service, Performance, and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary has disclosed the government is in the process of formulating a strategy to channel all music copyrights and royalties payments through the eCitizen platform.

This revelation was made via Kuria’s official account on Sunday, wherein he revealed the government’s intention to propose amendments to the Copyright Act with the aim of establishing a government-operated Collective Management Organisation.

Kuria emphasized the implementation of individual registration for artists, enabling them to monitor online the accrual of their earnings. He concluded by stating, “The era of sweat thieves exploiting artists is over.”

This comes days after the High Court temporarily halted a directive mandating parents to pay school fees via the platform.

The directive was suspended following a petition filed by Dr. Magare Gikenyi from Nakuru, who contested the initiative, labeling it as unlawful and asserting that it contravened principles of good governance.

Judge Chacha Mwita of Milimani Law Courts suspended the circular issued by Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang until further directions are provided in the case, scheduled for February 13, 2024.

A memorandum dated January 31, 2024, addressed to all national school principals and signed by PS Kipsang, instructed institution heads to furnish school bank account details to the office of the State Department’s Director General by February 6, 2024.

This action was stated to be part of the government’s initiative to migrate all government services to the e-Citizen platform to enhance service delivery.

The directive follows an order from Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u stipulating that all government services must be integrated into the eCitizen platform, with access fees applicable to every service effective December 14, 2023.

Additionally, numerous Kenyan universities have begun utilizing the platform for payment of cafeteria services.
