This he believes also hinders the progression and development of artistes.<\/p>\n<p>He said currently musicians who have numerous works to their credit barely make anything from the Ghanaian music industry as the system for claiming royalties was deeply flawed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have other systems which I get paid from but I don\u2019t get any money or airplay from Ghana which is not good,&#8221; Yeboah said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How about the others who have no other streams or systems they make money from? We all need to make some returns and it is high time a system is out in place in Ghana to ensure that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Relating the situation to the royalty system in the United Kingdom (UK), he said every corner bar pays a little for playing songs of artistes elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf any bar was paying a cedi whenever they play music, artistes could earn something for their development. They can make enough to produce high quality music instead of always going to the same small place and suffering criticism for producing bad sound as compared to Beyonc\u00e9 etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because all these measures have not been instituted, Kwame Yeboah insists \u201cthe entire system has not been enabled to function effectively, hence becoming a ticking time bomb which will one day crash and burn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He advised musical bodies to put in place monitoring systems to monitor bars, radio stations and outlets who use the works of artistes for commercial purposes.<\/p>\n<h3><strong\/><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"peace_black_text_4\">Source: Graphic  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"clear:both\">\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"peace_red_text_1\"><\/span>: <span class=\"peace_ash_text_1\">Opinions expressed here are those of the writers and do not reflect those of .  accepts no responsibility legal or otherwise for their accuracy of content.
