On the heels of the low representation of Ghanaian musicians at the recently held Aiteo CAF Awards, Ghanaian artiste Samini has launched a campaign it ensure more local music content in the media space.<\/p>\n
The dancehall artiste tweeted this morning that it was not right for Ghanaian musicians to be least represented at the awards, which was held in Ghana at Accra International Conference Centre on 4th December 2017.<\/p>\n
According to Samini, a law that allows for 70% local content and at least 50% representation of Ghanaians at international programmes held in country, should be passed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am starting a campaign today and I hope it gets to the LAW makers. Ghanaians want 70 percent of local content on our airwaves and 50:50 share of performance time on any international platform mounted here on our soil.This is to help us also sell to the world \u201courown\u201d craft,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n
