To turn the fortunes of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has suggested that the union’s administration should be given to a private entity.
He said the private entity with the support and collaboration from the government would do a better job than the current managers.
In a tweet on Tuesday, he said it was in the union’s best interest to do so.
“Musicians Association of Ghana…I think a private entity should take over the affairs, and let’s run it
in collaboration with Gov..,” he tweeted.
Stonebwoy’s statement comes when reports suggest the union’s plan to elect a new president is in limbo.
This was as a result of the postponement of the election scheduled for Wednesday, February 23.
The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) is an umbrella group that unites all musicians in Ghana irrespective of their music genre.
Bice Osei Kufour was the former president of the Musicians Union of Ghana. Before that, Diana Hopeson served as the MUSIGA president from 2007 to 2011.
In 2019, the union was dragged to court by Ras Caleb Appiah-Levi, who served as the Accra Regional Chairman of MUSIGA.
He alleged irregularities concerning the election process. An Accra High Court placed an interim injunction on the national elections by the union.
