The updated tariffs have officially been gazetted to include our rights as actors. I am relieved that we finally secured the recognition we fought for and I appreciate everyone who stayed with me through this long process.

We are Kenyan actors & members of PRISK(Performers Rights Society of Kenya) and the larger industry of the Republic of Kenya.
We write to express our concerns regarding tariffs that were sent to undergo a public participation and gazettement by the Kenya Association of Music Producers (KAMP), Performers Rights Society of Kenya (PRISK) and Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK).
It emerged during the meeting held on 24th January 2019 at NHIF Auditorium that the tariffs presented to the general public for participation did not include the tariff for the Actors right as a Performer. This omission is against the gazette tariffs that the CMO’s have been using up until 31st December 2018.
PRISK’s mandate as in their Memorandum of Association, is to protect the rights of the Performers of Sound Recording and Audio- Visual Works in Kenya in which Actors fall under.
It is within its mandate to ensure that the rights of all its members are well represented and remunerated in all aspects.
To have the Board of Directors of PRISK submit tariffs that are not all inclusive is indeed against the Organization’s Memorandum of Association, the Copyright Act and the Constitution of Kenya.
The omission of the Actor’s tariff during submission is indeed against good corporate governance and ethics and clearly will deny the Actor Member in PRISK their royalties in the year 2020 and 2021 for revenue collected in 2019 and 2020 if the tariffs are gazzetted as they have been presented.
With this we request you, the Kenyan actor, or the supporter of Kenyan acting, to sign this petition & help us be united in our mission to have Kenyan actors' rights be recognized as they should be; something that has been long overdue.
Thank you.

Seeing the count climb toward our goal reminds me of the countless actors in our industry who face financial uncertainty because of this blatant omission. We need to reach this milestone before we present our findings to the board so they understand that our professional rights are not optional.

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred names reminds me that our work as actors is finally being recognized. Please send this link to a colleague right now so we can hit that mark before our next meeting with the board.

A well protected actor is a good and confident custodian of the moral fabric of the society. Empower an actor to use their God given gift to be a sober voice in the society. Pay actors their tarrifs
My acting is my career choice respect it and let me prosper in it like my age mates in white collar jobs. I deserve a chance to be the best I can, support that choice.
Actors are performers too. It's only right that our tariffs are included too. This should not even be an argument. #actorstarrifsKE
Actors lack good will even from the Government's Ministries and the County Governments, we can hardly make ends meet. We aren't even represented in any forum.
As a member of PRISK and the performance fraternity,I would like to be included as a receiver of royalties as has been the norm since I joined.

I totally support this petition. It is always sad to see myself on Tv doing adverts and tv series that are replayed without any gain.
