The government has intensified its campaign against cartels accused of exploiting musicians, content creators, and performing artists, vowing to secure better earnings for creatives.

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on Wednesday said the Kenya Kwanza administration has prioritized reforms in the creative sector to eliminate middlemen who, for years, have reaped unfairly from the industry.
