Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ezekiel Mutua has castigated those who have unsubscribed Sauti Sol's YouTube channel saying the move is "juvenile".

"We may have differences of opinion, but unsubscribing from @sautisol YouTube channel is juvenile reaction. Rudini haraka," Mutua said in a statement.

Mutua praised Sauti Sol band saying it is the greatest in the country.

"Sauti Sol remains one of our greatest bands in Kenya's history and we must not be blinded by politics to the point of hate," he said.

The MCSK boss, however, faulted the band for questioning Azimio la Umoja who used one of its songs as a background for a graphic design during the unveiling of Martha Karua as Raila Odinga's running mate.

"And on a brighter note, Sauti Sol should have used the adaptation of "Extravaganza" by Azimio to create an "Unbwogable" moment like Gidi Gidi Maji Maji did in 2002.

"Some moments come once in a lifetime. In any case, is it not a great thing to see our local music being played in these big political events?

"I would rather have "Extravaganza" and "Sipangwingwi" being played in these political rallies by our top politicians than foreign songs!" He added.

Sauti Sol accused Azimio la Umoja of playing their song during the rally without their permission.
