Quick answer
GeraPersona is an ethical marketplace of licensed Kenyan voices and personas — Kiswahili, Sheng, Kenyan-English. Buyers get consented voice rights; voice actors receive residuals in KSh via M-Pesa every time their persona is used.
How residuals are paid
Unlike generic TTS, every GeraPersona voice is a real Kenyan contributor who signed a KECOBO- aligned licence. Use counts are logged; residuals payout to M-Pesa weekly — split 70% voice owner, 20% platform, 10% KRA withholding (where applicable).
Regulation
Contracts respect the Kenya Copyright Act (KECOBO), defamation under the Defamation Act, and personal data under the DPA 2019 (ODPC registered). KRA PIN verification at onboarding; withholding tax handled where applicable.
