Highlife Legend Gyedu Blay Ambolley on Friday\u00a0led about 20 musicians to lock up the head office of the Ghana Music Right Organisation (GHAMRO) in Accra.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Ffu8WwvHVB0H3Lx4ovGLyKUYfEeRgpD8″]It took the intervention of the police to prevent a fist cuff between the administrators of the office and the aggrieved musicians.<\/p>\n
There have been divisions among music right owners for some years now\u00a0over the collection of royalties for GHAMRO members.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, Gyedu Blay Ambulley explained that their action was triggered by what he described as some \u201cmalpractices committed by the caretakers\u201d of the organization.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have so many reports and evidences of so many malpractices that are going on in there and we want to stop it,\u201d\u00a0He said.<\/p>\n He was quick to add that current officers at GHAMRO’s head office were given a mandate of six months which he said \u00a0“expired on January 11, 2015,”\u00a0adding that \u201cif there is any changes or any election on anything that has to take place, it means that their members need to be called so that we all sit down and agree. Even the constitution that is over there is not adopted, it is now that we are all going to sit down to adopt that kind of constitution.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we wanted to lock the office down they called the police to come, when the police came we told them why we are here because it concerns stakeholders. We all went there and we locked it up,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin Allotey Akweiteh\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n
