KFCB Withdraw Notice to Kenyan YouTubers Over Licences After Public Outcry

A win for Kenyan YouTubers, after KFCB Chairman Njogu Wa Njoroge withdraws YouTube filming licenses, focusing on supporting creators. This comes after Kenyan content creators got shocked by emails from KFCB for not having filming licenses

This is after several content creators posted the notices from acting Chief Executive Officer Paskal Opiyo who gave the creatives 14 days to acquire filming licences from the board or face legal action.

The ultimatum caused an uproar among the creators and Kenyans online who expressed their frustrations over the matter.

Hours after the notices were dispatched, KFCB chair Njoroge stated that he had directed the Board to recall the directive to pave the way for consultative meetings with the content creators.
