Shasha Marley, a reggae artiste has described the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) as a failure.
GHAMRO is a royalties collection agency within Ghana, that represents the rights of music copyright holders.
The agency collects royalties for all rights owners in Ghana. However, musicians have over the years complained bitterly that they have not received enough from their royalties.
Sasha Marley adding his voice to the debate said he is not a member of GAHMRO because they lack the system to track and collect royalties for their members.
The royalties collection he suggested has been one of the major threats to the success of Ghanaian musicians.
For sales, he said it is not bad but the royalties that establish musicians are not well managed.
He said he contracted HASCA to collect his royalties in Ghana but they declined because they said Ghana lacked systems to monitor the works of musicians.
“The system in Ghana does not work. You would be there and they will bring you GHc400 for the whole year. We don’t have a system in Ghana.”
