The Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO) has sued veteran highlife musician, Akosua Adjepong for spreading false information about the organization.
This was made known to the public by a GHAMRO board member, Diana Hopeson.
According to Diana Hopeson, the allegations made by Akosua Adjepong have contributed to the revocation of its license to operate.
Diana explains that; “Aside from that, some members who continue to spread false rumors about the organization will continue to make false claims. Some of them, notably Akosua Adjepong, advise businesses not to pay royalties.
“It demonstrates her aversion to GHAMRO. She is the greatest person to explain to you what she is doing and why she is doing it. GHAMRO is prepared to go to court this time because whatever she is doing is impacting GHAMRO.
“She keeps spreading false rumors that we are operating illegally, so we are prepared to take her on legally. She wants to be in charge, therefore she is on a mission to ruin us, but when elections come around, she does not file to run.
“She is also aware that what she does disqualifies her because our laws state that dragging the name of the organization through the dirt may result in a penalty, which is why she rarely files. We have repeatedly requested that she appear before us to reply to matters, but she has failed to do so. Unfortunately, she is not interested in the organization’s success.”
Earlier, Akosua Adjepong alerted the office of the Attorney General to revoke the license of the interim management committee of GHAMRO because there are operating illegally.
In an attempt to thrash Akosua’s rumors, GHAMRO takes the ‘battle’ to court in high hopes of winning the case against the veteran highlife singer.
