I\u2019ve registered all my songs.\u201d Gifty Osei said.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Chairperson of GHAMRO, Rex Owusu Marfo, otherwise known in showbiz as Rex Omar, he told Presspeep.com that Gifty\u2019s claim is totally false.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGifty Osei is a liar and I\u2019ve asked her manager to let her come publicly to apologize to GHAMRO else we\u2019ll publish all the monies they\u2019ve received from Ghamro since 2015 till date including even the very last distribution we did,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The online portal\u2019s update indicates that head of Gifty Osei\u2019s management team, Mr. Stephen Kenneth Nakujah, has apologized for the false claim by his artiste.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, royalties of Gifty Osei comes directly into the coffers of the management and that Gifty Osei was once told in a meeting but it escaped the Gospel diva when she was asked that question.<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed that after the interview they (GHAMRO) called Gifty to come public and correct the false impression. Mr. Stephen Kenneth Nakujah used the opportunity to render an unqualified apology to GHAMRO and the entire public for the misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>About Ghamro?<\/p>\n<p>The Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) was established under section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005 and regulated under L.I. 1962 of 2010 to collect and distribute royalties accruing to authors and owners of copyright and neighbouring rights.<\/p>\n<p>Like all other copyright societies, GHAMRO is a non-profit corporate body (limited by guarantee) and therefore all fees collected are distributed among the right owners whose works have been used, in this instance composers, authors and producers, publishers in proportion to the use made of their works.<\/p>\n<p>GHAMRO is duly authorized by written assignments and affiliated to composers\u2019 societies all over the world through the execution of reciprocal representation agreements with Societies outside Ghana whose works Ghana protect under treaty and other international treaties.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, GHAMRO authorizes all those societies to administer the music of Ghanaian composers and authors in their particular countries. Conversely, GHAMRO administers in the territory of Ghana, not only the music of its Ghanaians members, but also the great store of music in the repertoires of all those other societies \u2013 in other words, the music of over 1,000,000 composers, authors, publishers and producers in some 150 countries.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/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 Thursday, 21 December 2017 Source: Kasapfmonline.com 2017-12-21 Gifty Osei The management of Gospel artiste, Gifty Osei has apologized to Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO), for the musician\u2019s claim that she has never received royalties from them.
