The welfare committee of Ghana Music Rights Organisation, GHAMRO has presented an undisclosed amount of money to Ghanaian hiplife artiste, Omanhene Pozo who has been admitted at the 37 Military Hospital for weeks now. GHAMRO administrator, Agya Abraham and First Vice Chairman of the association, Ahmed Banda aka Bandex on Tuesday afternoon presented the money to Sidney who happens to be a childhood friend of the musician.
Administrator of GHAMRO, Abraham Adjetey before giving the money to Sidney disclosed that it is the right of all members to enjoy from the welfare of the organization.
“We have heard about the unfortunate situation of Omanhene Pozo who is a member of this society. This information through Sidney came to the Chairman of GHAMRO, Kojo Antwi and Chairman of the welfare, Bandex and management has had discussion.
As part of our welfare policy, we have to assist our own. The constitution also states it clear that we must do everything to protect the interest of our members and that means that we have to help our brother.
The Chairman of the board, welfare officer and welfare chairman met and decided that GHAMRO should respond immediately to the call of Sidney’s cry.
If there is something else that GHAMRO needs to do, we will do it to help him because when he is alive, it is for our own good.”
Agya Abraham further assured members that they will be catered by the welfare committee should any of them go into trouble.
First Vice Chairman of GHAMRO who also doubles as the Chairman of the welfare committee, Ahmed Banda also praised Barima Sidney for informing the association of his friend’s sickness.
“Sidney, you did the right thing by telling us of his sickness. Omanehene Pozo is our own. We can’t do all but at least we will contribute our quota to make sure he is well.”
