Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) offices in Nairobi on Sunday was an arena of drama after new leaders, who had come in to take leadership roles, were blocked from accessing the offices.
The new members claimed that they were earlier elected as the new leaders at a general meeting and they had been directed by the board to take over the leadership roles at the society offices.
However, reports indicate that upon arrival, the new members were rounded up, locked in one room then clobbered by goons who had been hired by unknown people before being thrown out.

While causing a standstill outside the offices, the new leaders claimed that there was alleged corruption and called out to President William Ruto to intervene and save a total of Ksh56 million set aside for artists that was misapropriated.
“They came in with another goon, they pushed me to the ground and tore my pair of trousers. We are asking the DCI to step in and investigate the issue, there is a graft of Ksh56 million at MCSK.”
They also blamed police officers for siding with what they termed as oppressors after they arrived at the offices even after showing them legal documents on their presence.
“Did they come to fight for our rights or to intimidate us yet we have legal documents from the government showing we are approved to be in office.”
