The day is Monday on 7th of September 2015 and Nairobi Region MCSK members are gathered in an event at Nyayo stadium. The purpose of the event being to vet the members so as to route out ghost members who earn free money from the society denying the genuine members their hard earned sweat.

Inside the basket ball gymnasium are applauds from members who seem to enjoy the presentations by directors are giving on the progress and achievements that the society has made to date. This is the opposite of what has been always been witnessed during such meetings in the past. In attendance, there were other CMOs namely PRISK and Kamp who have resolved to work together with MCSK for the full benefit of the artists. From the look there are signs that artists are developing some trust in the current directors because they have promised to fight the ills that been fleecing the poor artists to enrich a few who do not know the challenges artists face in order to make music.It is said that in the past former directors were corruptly colluding with other service providers, radio and TV stations to fleece the artists. If the current Directors walk their talk then we expect our artists to start living decent lives that match their celebrity status.
At the moment there are measures that have been put in place to streamline and improve monitoring of airplay, collections and also accountability. A new monitoring system called VERICAST that was adopted by MCSK will ensure that the artist is in a position to monitor whenever and wherever his/her music is being played. The income derived out of the airplay will be seen trickling hence accountability.
Further to this there are artists who have come together under a union called KENUM that is now championing the rights of artists.The purpose of KENUM is to put ensure that the Government, MCSK and other stakeholders bring favourable changes in the industry so that artists can reap from their sweat.The union has urged more artists to enroll with it so as for them to speak together as one strong voice.
