The Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) has issued a high-alert public notice disowning its former Chief Executive Officer, Ezekiel Mutua Nyithya, claiming he was officially dismissed from the organization nearly a year ago.
In a formal statement dated January 12, 2026, the MCSK Board of Directors expressed deep concern over what they termed “continued public misinformation” by the former boss.
According to society, Mutua was terminated as an employee on April 3, 2025.
“The Music Copyright Society of Kenya Limited (MCSK) Board of Directors raises concern over continued public misinformation by EZEKIEL MUTUA NYITHYA, who was DISMISSED as an employee of MCSK by the Board of Directors on 03rd April 2025,” part of the notice read.
The MCSK Board of Directors further noted that, Mutua despite being dismissed, Mutua has been presenting himself to the public as the society’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
“MCSK Board of Directors notes that despite the dismissal and its subsequent affirmation by two High Court rulings in May 2025 after being challenged, Ezekiel Mutua Nyithya has persisted in presenting himself to the public as MCSK’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO),” the notice read.

Legal Battles and Court Rulings
The notice reveals that the dismissal was not without controversy. Mutua reportedly challenged his removal in court; however, the Board notes that his dismissal was affirmed by two High Court rulings in May 2025.
Despite these legal setbacks, the Board alleges that Mutua has persisted in presenting himself to the public as the active CEO of the royalty-collection body.
“Ezekiel Mutua Nyithya is no longer an employee of MCSK and does not have any authority to transact any business for and on behalf of MCSK,” the notice reads in part.
