“Yes,we have placed an injunction on the GHAMRO elections…When we talk, they say we can’t do anything- now we’ve placed an injunction on it … let see how their bogus and fraudulent election comes on”,

The highlife legend, Randy Nunoo together with the United Concerned members of Ghamro (UNICOM) had agitated that the management of Ghamro under Chairman Kojo Antwi and his administration lack accountability.

About 3,700 members of GHAMRO cast their votes to elect new board members for the music rights body.
