The deregistration of three artiste management organisations by the Kenya Copyright Board has been reversed by the High Court.

The court allowed the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK), Performers Rights Society of Kenya (PRiSK) and the Kenya Association of Music Producers (Kamp) to continue operating until November 3, when their application challenging the deregistration will be heard.
