The Kenya Copyright Board (Kecobo) has faulted the Azimio Coalition for using a Kenyan band’s composition without permission. The band, Sauti Sol, on Monday threatened to sue the Azimio Coalition, whose presidential candidate is Raila Odinga, for allegedly using their ‘Extravaganza’ song without their permission.
