Expansion of the space for creativity

The Kenya Kwanza government promised to work with stakeholders to expand the space for creativity including in the arena of freedom of expression and protection of intellectual property rights

The government is in the process of enacting the Creative Economy Support Bill, 2024 in a bid to regulate the creative economy and provide support to creatives.
However, the government has perpetrated abuses against the freedom of expression especially in the wake of protests following the proposal and/or passing of the Finance Bill, 2024.
