Pressure is beginning to mount on the Musicians Union of Ghana
(MUSIGA) to provide the names of journalists who are supposed to be on
the union's Public Relations (PR) team. For close to two years, the
Union under the leadership of Bice 'Obuor' Osei Kuffour has been
including in its book of achievements that some top- notch journalists
in Ghana form part of its impeccable PR team. The names of these
journalists have however remained a mystery and this has become a
major issue of concern among discerning Ghanaians in the industry.
Doubts of the authenticity of this claim have become an issue of
concern especially when MUSIGA has still not been able provided a
single name to back its claim. Meanwhile, entertainment pundits and
several art writers have concluded that the Union's inability to
provide the identity of these journalists as requested simply means
that monies are probably being paid to 'ghost names'. According to
some key players in the entertainment industry, it is impossible for a
Union that has been struggling to manage its corporate image and
several issues ranging from accountability, through mass resignation
to poor communication among others, to have a PR team including
journalists. NEWS-ONE investigations also confirm that since the
beginning of the year, the Union has been struggling to put up a
well-structured PR team to handle its affairs. Perhaps MUSIGA's
silence on the issue is one of the PR moves to resolve the issue at
hand.
