In a statement shared by the Kisima Awards secretariat, chairman of the awards Dr Fred Simiyu said that during the gala night slated for December 13, 2020, African artists will be awarded in 18 categories; nine each in music and film. A further 18 awards have been specifically created for Kenya in both music and film.
