The chairman of the Interim Management Committee of Ghana Music Right Organisation (GHAMRO), Rex Owusu Marfo, affectionately known as Rex Omar, has expressed shock at the decision of the Attorney General of Ghana to revoke their license.
According to him the reasons for the revocation defies law and logic.
Speaking to TheSpectatoronline.com, Rex Omar said, whatever the Attorney General is requiring of GHAMRO has been provided.
Against this backdrop, he said the revocation comes to them as a surprise and very unfortunate
Rex Omar said when he took over as GHAMRO chairman in 2017, some aggrieved members raised issues with the new leadership of the association.
For this reason, he said the then AG, Gloria Akuffo through Efua Sutherland Committee recommended a new constitution, a thorough audit since the inception, and capacity building for GHAMRO.
Rex Omar revealed that GHAMRO complied with all of these and teamed up with the AG to draft a new constitution, for which they were asked to take the second draft copy throughout the country for their members to acquaint themselves.
Following this, he said they were asked to draw a road map, go for a General Assembly, and set up an Election Committee to pave the way for voting.
He said after complying with all of these, the Election Committee set up failed to deliver on its mandate for this reason, it was disbanded to make way for a new committee, unfortunately, the old committee headed to court over the matter.
Rex Omar said to his dismay the AG is asking GHAMRO to reinstate the old Election Committee and withdraw all cases against them in court.
According to him, GHAMRO does of wield these powers because it was the General Assembly which is the highest decision-making body that decided of disbanding the old Election Committee, adding that they cannot also withdraw cases against them in court because they are not the plaintiff.
For this reason, he said the decision to withhold their license is not grounded in law and logic.
In the interim, Rex Omar said they have responded to the letter received from the AG over the revocation of their license and also referred it to their lawyers.
Rex Omar added that they would not be able to distribute royalties to the right owners this June due to their current situation.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
