The musicians union of Ghana organized a press conference
yesterday Tuesday 13 May 2014 at the International Press Center on state
of royalties collection and sharing of royalties in Ghana, GHAMRO
election and the way forward.
The highly successful press
conference was attended by high profile musicians, music producers,
artistes managers, distributors including the maestro Kojo Antwi, DL
(Daddy Lumda), Amakyi Dede, Pat Thomas, Charles Amoah, Rex Omar, Noble
Nketia, VVIP, Bessa Simon, Obour, Okyeame Kwame, Edem, Mark Okraku
Mantey who was representing GHAMRO, Appietus, among others.
An
unfortunate incident happen as tempers flared up when Mark Okraku Mantey
was giving his speech. He ended his speech abruptly and angrily walked
out of the press conference.
According to Mark the press
conference was orchestrated by Kojo Antwi because he wants to contest
for the position of GHAMRO chairman so he (Kojo Antwi) is using MUSIGA
to propagate that agenda.
MUSIGA President Obour denied Mark’s
allegations stating that GHAMRO has been in operation for three years
without rendering any accounts to its members and the board has refused
to organize general meetings even though they are supposed to do all
that annually.
“So if for three years none of these have
happened and stakeholders are peeved, they are aggrieved and they want
this to happen so that they can air their views and then people will say
because somebody wants to contest an election that is why. So if
someone wants to stand for elections and so what, If Kojo Antwi wants to
contest for election and so what?” Obour asked? Mark Okraku is known as someone who always has conflicting views and causes "caous" so it is of no surprise that he brought this issue up yesterday and caused a rampage. watch the video and witness the real action of what went down
hmm eeii Ghana and what is it turning into. kudos for the video.
