The newspaper\u2019s claim? That Mutua had been ousted from his throne at MCSK. The reality? A brazen lie, according to the board, and they\u2019re not holding back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MCSK National Chairman Ephantus Kamau came out swinging, declaring the accusations \u201cbaseless\u201d and affirming that Dr. Mutua remains the ironclad CEO, steering the organisation with unshakable legitimacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe culprits behind this smear campaign are former directors, kicked to the curb on June 16, 2025,\u201d Kamau roared. \u201cThey\u2019re ghosts of the past with zero authority to speak for MCSK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamau didn\u2019t mince words, exposing the ex-directors as power-hungry opportunists peddling misinformation to destabilise the Society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their motive?<\/strong> A bitter grudge over Dr. Mutua\u2019s refusal to greenlight a jaw-dropping Sh200 million in alleged arrears they demanded as their parting gift in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese are the tantrums of sore losers,\u201d Kamau sneered, noting that the same board had previously showered Mutua with an \u201cexcellent\u201d performance rating before renewing his contract for his stellar leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The current board, backed by the official CR12 records of the Government of Kenya, stands united in its praise for Mutua\u2019s transformative vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMCSK is thriving under lawful governance and bold strategy, serving our members, rights holders, and stakeholders with unwavering commitment,\u201d Kamau declared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe urge the public to ignore the venomous lies spread by these impostors masquerading as directors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the real fireworks came when Kamau turned his sights on the Daily Nation. Accusing the newspaper of ignoring warnings against publishing the defamatory notice, he issued a scorching demand: an immediate, front-and-centre public apology, as bold and prominent as the original falsehood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo half-measures, no excuses,\u201d he thundered. \u201cFail to comply, and we\u2019ll unleash every legal weapon in our arsenal to protect Dr. Mutua\u2019s honour and MCSK\u2019s legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the clock ticks, the nation watches\u2014will the Daily Nation bow to the pressure, or will this saga explode into a courtroom brawl? One thing\u2019s certain: MCSK\u2019s loyalty to Mutua burns fiercely, and they\u2019re ready to fight tooth and nail to set the record straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Dr. Mutua says he was alerted on Wednesday, May 8, 2025, evening to suspicious fraudulent withdrawals totalling over Sh7.7 million from MCSK\u2019s NCBA Bank accounts, involving former directors and some managers in collusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne withdrawal of Sh 325,000 was paid to Nation Media Group (NMG) for a false advert claiming Dr. Mutua had been sacked, a scheme intended to hinder my efforts to stop the theft of company funds,\u201d said Mutua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Mutua said he promptly wrote to NMG requesting due diligence and reported the fraud to Parklands Police Station and the Banking Fraud Unit. He said, despite all the effort, NMG published the malicious advert, aiding the fraud and damaging reputations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Mutua remains the CEO and has not been dismissed, as confirmed by fact-checks. The matter is under investigation, with hopes that the culprits will be held accountable, said Dr Mutua. MCSK members and supporters commend Dr. Mutua for his fight against corruption despite opposition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a blistering showdown, the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) has unleashed a fierce defence of its CEO, Dr. Ezekiel Mutua, torching a \u201cfalse and malicious\u201d public notice published by the Daily Nation.
