The Governing Board of the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) has been set aside.
Some aggrieved members of the organization went to court for redress recently.
After about a year of legal tussle, the organization won the case in February which paved the way for the Board elections on 15th March 2022.
The aggrieved members led by Steven Boahene, according to Rex Owusu Marfo, the Interim Director, appealed against the decision.
Mr Omar disclosed at a press briefing covered by Zionfelix.net that the trial Judge duly set aside on Tuesday 19th July 2022 pending the determination of the substantive matter. Thus, by implication, the Governing Board has been set aside.
