Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) Announces Filing Fees Ahead of National Elections

With two months to its national congress in October in the  Eastern regional capital city of Koforidua, the Musicians Union of Ghana has rolled out plans for its congress and national elections. A statement signed by the Director of Communications and Special Projects for the Union, Ahuma Bosco Ocansey indicates that contestants for the position of President will have to dole out an amount of GHC 3,000.00.

Meanwhile ace producer Appietus has announced his candidature for the Presidency in a move pundits perceive to be a betrayal of the incumbent President since Appietus is on the communications team of the current administration, an assertion he vigorously debunks with the explanation that the Union is democratic.
