Bessa Simons on MUSIGA, corruption and Anas

“Anas should try an investigation at MUSIGHA. Apart from the fact that he may be wasting his time, there is no money at MUSIGHA, there’s no money there. Who is going to take bribe? The person you are going to take bribe from wants money from you.” 

Moreover, Mr Simons was certain that “Anas will come and waste the money he will be giving out”.

However, several entertainment personalities accuse MUSIGA of possible mismanagement and embezzlement of funds.

Moreover, this was due to the use of goverment’s allotted GHS 2 million. President, Obour suffered intense criticisms over the use of the money provided by the government.

Also, other critics demand a change in administration.

However, Mr Simons insists:

“People will be disappointed (if Anas should come there for any investigative purposes)”.

On the contrary, he believes people will applaud MUSIGA if such an investigation is carried out.

“I think at the end of the day, they will say we have done a great job and so the government should find some money and pay us.” 

Also, he added that music was important to the development of the country. Therefore, he encouraged government to regularly earmark funds for the Union.

“I feel MUSIGA is at a stage, for the work they have done, government should make sure every year MUSIGA gets an allocation of money from the budget to run the association because music plays an important role in Ghana.”
