Kenya Films Classification Board’s (KFCB) former CEO Ezekiel Mutua has been appointed the new CEO of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) effective immediately.
According to a statement that was released by MCSK, the board did a rigorous interview and eventually decided on Mutua as their top candidate due to his impressive resume, experience and capabilities in the media and communications sector.
“Dr Mutua brings MCSK great wealth of experience in leadership, media and communications having served in various top leadership positions, both in the public and private sectors,” read the statement.
Mutua boasts a dynamic, prosperous career as he started off as a trainee reporter in 1994, became a sub-editor in 1998, became the Secretary General of the Kenya Union of Journalists in 2001, became the Director of Information & Public Communications in 2007, switched to Information Secretary in 2011 and finally took the CEO role at KFCB IN 2015.
Mutua has since then taken to his social media to express his gratitude to MCSK.
“I have received with profound gratitude my appointment to the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK). Happy to rejoin the creative industry, this time not as a regulator, but as a promoter and defender of the rights of musicians,” read the tweet.
According to MCSK, Mutua holds a PhD in Communication Studies from Moi University, a Master’s degree in Communication Studies from the University of Nairobi and a BA in Sociology and Linguistics from Kenyatta University.
