Paul Makenzi,according to recent sources, has been sentenced to a 12-month prison term or a Sh100,000 fine for operating a film studio and producing films without a valid license.
The conviction derives from a 2019 violation, demonstrating the repercussions of engaging in filmmaking activities without authorized authorization.
This raises concerns over the legality and caliber of the produced films in addition to potential legal ramifications.
In order to safeguard the interests of the general public and the film industry as a whole, licensing in the film business is intended to guarantee that filmmakers follow specific standards, both with regard to content and technical issues.
The fact that the offense occurred in 2019 and is only now being resolved underscores the intricacies of judicial proceedings and the length of time it takes to resolve cases.
It also highlights the authorities’ perseverance in addressing infractions of industrial regulations, regardless of when they occur.
