DStv owner seeks jail term for Jamii CEO Joshua Chepkowny in piracy row
Jamii Telecom chief executive officer Joshua Chepkowny. MultiChoice Kenya wants Chepkowny sent to jail over the failure to pull down sports pirating sites as directed by the High Court last month.
MultiChoice Kenya has filed a case under a certificate of urgency claiming huge losses from the delayed take-down of the sports pirating sites.
MultiChoice moved to court in 2019 accusing Jamii Telecom and Safaricom of allowing the sites to re-broadcast and replicate exclusive content without its authorisation.
Subscribers to Multichoice’s DStv and GoTV packages pay a monthly fee while those streaming the games on the controversial websites only incur data costs.
