This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Kenya relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons.

Background
The British established a protectorate in what is now Kenya in 1895, followed by the Kenya Colony in 1920. Kenya gained independence in December 1963.
Kenya has been a member of the Berne Convention since 11 June 1993 and the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995, as well as a signatory to various other international treaties.[1]
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed The Copyright Act, 2001 (Chapter 130) (Revised Edition 2014) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Kenya.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] WIPO also listed the The Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expressions Act, 2016 as one of the main copyright laws.[1] This defines special limitations on exploitation of traditional knowledge and cultural expressions where the author is unknown, which are seen as property of the communities of origin.[3]

Under The Copyright Act, 2001 (Chapter 130) (Revised Edition 2014), copyright on artistic works "does not include the right to control reproduction and distribution of copies, or the inclusion in a film or broadcast, of an artistic work situated in a place where it can be viewed by the public".[Cap 130 Rev 2014 Section 26(1b)] Note that the definition of artistic works under Kenyan law includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and architecture. Furthermore, unlike freedom of panorama exemptions in some other countries, in Kenya it is not restricted to only works permanently located in a public place, and can include works in private places if viewable by the public.
