Out of the entire 2 million about 800, 000 was spent on the study. The study was done by KPMG\u2026a comprehensive study of the music sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The research which was aimed at providing a baseline data on the music industry, explaining the structure and functioning of Ghana\u2019s music industry and making recommendations to stakeholders and government on the way forward with the industry, concluded that the sector adds approximately GH\u00a293 million to the GDP of Ghana, representing 0.13% of the 2012 GDP at current prices.<\/p>\n<p>He also stated that another GH\u00a2 800, 000 of the money was also spent on the first edition of the Ghana music festival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout another GH\u00a2 800, 000 was spent on the first Ghana music week festival\u2026which we accounted for and it was out there in the public,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He however refuted claims by the public that he had misappropriated the fiscal budget money and intimated that the union has improved tremendously under his leadership.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, it is not clear what the remainder GH\u00a2 400, 000 was used for. Citi Showbiz will nose out details of this matter soon.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 35 updated by: 49 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Saturday, 30 September 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-09-30 President of Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) &#8211;
