Amakye Dede, a veteran of the highlife music genre, has accused some GHAMRO executives of embezzling money.
Many Ghanaian singers have criticized the Music Rights Organizations for their repeated unwillingness to pay them their unpaid royalties.
Abrantie Amakye Dede bemoaned the money that goes into GHAMRO’s coffers and said that certain executives had hoarded money without paying.
“There are some people at Ghamro that the little money that they will give it to some musicians for their creativity they won’t do it because of selfishness,” he raged on Kessben TV.
“But that’s not how we supposed to live life because someone has written their songs and you don’t even know how they came up with the creative piece,” he fumed as reported.
“You are sitting at the office at Ghamro to just collect and embezzle their funds which is not nice because one person alone cannot eat for the rest to go hungry,” he lamented.
