President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Bice Osei Kuffour, better known as Obour, has responded to a claim by Akoo Nana that he spends the Union's money extravagantly with his family abroad.
Akoo Nana also added that, Obour neglected his responsibilities as leader of the Union leaving musicians to wallow in poverty.
In response to these allegations on Joy FM with Doreen Andoh, Obour rubbished the claims.
He insisted that his family has been living in the United States since the days he had his hit single 'Konkontibaa' in 2004.
“Recently, I heard one from Akoo Nana. He hears that my family is in the US and [concludes] I have taken MUSIGA’s money. My family has been living in the US since Konkontibaa days,” Obour revealed.
According to the MUSIGA President, some of these comments that are passed about him are not true and this, he says is unfortunate.
“If you don't know and you just say that Obour has made money [from MUSIGA]. It is sad,” he stated.
He added that he laughs off some of these pronouncements because they are baseless.
Obour mentioned that the numerous complaints he receives about his administration are borne out of the lack of understanding of MUSIGA’s role.
He disclosed that, the Union is strategizing to upgrade its communication machinery to better inform and educate and Ghanaians on the mandate of MUSIGA.

obour the 2m should be accounted for. what research did you do????aha Ghana
Why won't Obuor join his family abroad? How can he be working for Ghana whilst his family is abroad? Why?
Obour should just account for the 2 million Ghana Cedis and all will be fine with him! And otherwise why will so much money be given to one person in the name of Ghanaian musicians? What did he do with the money? and how has that helped the music industry and for that matter, the individual musician? Sometimes his story sounds more like that of Woyome! He felt there was money he could collect from the President or government and without any due diligence, the money was given to him! He thinks he owes nobody an accountability and somehow, nobody seems to want to investigate the matter. Most musicians don't buy his explanation. It was so much money that seems to be wasted! Somehow he manages to outsmart everybody and present himself as the one and only but Obour must seriously account for the money!
Based on facts available i don't think that joining a union or association is obligatory . Personally each is for himself and i don't think it's by force to join a union if you feel it can't carter you any good personally .For example in Europe not all the countries in Europe are members of the European Union , even some members are quitting from it whiles others are planning to quit . It isn't by force to stay in hot waters whiles agitating . You can flee yourself from it . My advice to any member who is not happy in the Union to quit than stressing yourselves upon the behaviour of other members, which they feel is embarrassing . If one quits may be others can follow .
