Veteran highlife musician Gyedu Blay-Ambolley has
threatened to put a block on the February 11
elections being organised by the interim board of
the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO),
should the board decide to go ahead with it.
Ambolley who has consistently contested the locus
of the board, has told Starr Entertainment the
“corrupt bunch” board members are not fit to
oversee their elections.
Having led about 20 musicians to lock up the head
office of GHAMRO in Accra on Friday January 2015,
the popular highlife legend said: “People can’t use
Mafia ways to hijack the place.”
"Irrespective of where you come from…the closing
date [for submitting nominations] is today, when
many of the association members don’t even know.

It needs to be opened otherwise this election is not
going to come on.”
The members of the current board include MUSIGA
President Obour, Kojo Antwi, Bandex, Marry
Ghansah, Okyeame Kwame, K K Kabobo, Nat Brew
and a few others.
Gyedu Blay-Ambolley stressed that the leadership
crisis in the music industry for the past years had
fuelled incompetence, intransigence and
unaccountable stewardship.
Meanwhile, embattled hiplife artiste Kwaw Kese has
asked for the organisation to be dissolved.
