High-life veteran Gyebu Blay Ambolley has claimed that Chairman of
Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO), Kojo Antwi
won his election through fraudulent means.
In an exclusive interview with Roman Fada on Atinka FM’s brunch time
programme, ‘Edwuma oo’, on Wednesday, controversial Ambolley alleged
that the GHAMRO chairman sponsored more than half of the
3,700 members of GHAMRO to various voting centers in Accra, Kumasi and
Tamale to cast their vote. “His action really influenced many of the
voters,” Ambolley said.
“Kojo Antwi was a member of the GHAMRO Board that was dissolved by the
Human Rights Courts in July 2014, thus he is ineligible to stand for
the post of Chairman. Kojo Antwi with his cronies organized shady
elections and won.
They were dismissed on the grounds of misappropriation of funds so his
image is already dented,” Mr. Ambolley said.
“I received an amount of GHC 1,350 from GHAMBRO via mobile money but
the purpose of the money was not specific so how can he [ Antwi ]
account for the haphazard distribution of the cash. There must be a
medical fund for our aged
musicians and a source of motivation for upcoming musicians.” He added.
He further stated that, Antwi should come clean with the exact money
in the coffers of GHAMBRO and account for every dime spent and specify
how much a member is
supposed to get.
