Autores quenianos pedem ação do governo contra a pirataria de livros

Representantes do setor editorial do Quênia instaram o governo a fortalecer as leis contra a pirataria de livros para proteger os autores e a indústria literária.

A Kenya Publishers Association afirmou que a publicação ilegal causa prejuízos superiores a três bilhões de xelins a cada ano.

Os participantes do setor falaram durante a segunda edição do TBC Penmanship Awards, realizado no Jain Bhavan Auditorium em Loresho, Nairóbi.

O diretor executivo do Text Book Centre, Sachin Varma, disse que os prêmios oferecem aos escritores emergentes uma plataforma para exibir seu talento.

Entre os vencedores estavam Janet Mbugua por "My First Time", Dra. Anuradha Khoda por "Noah and the Rainbow Promise Series 2" e Jackson Biko por "Big Little Fights".
