Kenya filmmakers must pay a $280 license fee yearly to produce a film or face a penalty of $100 or spend five years in jail.
The license also affects video bloggers who want to post videos on any social media platform for public consumption.
In a public notice by the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB), these fees are broken down into various categories.
The KFCB boss, Ezekiel Mutua who was speaking at a local radio station, said that the license was a way to ensure that national security is not compromised through illegal filming activities and to provide the government with much-needed revenue.
Filmmakers will need to apply for a written approval from the Board’s CEO if they want to be exempted from the licences.
“Exemptions must be with a written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Board and is only granted following justifiable request and advisory from the film monitoring department,” he tweeted.
