Ghana Music Rights Organization
Ghana Music Rights Organization is a royalties collection agency within Ghana that represents the broadcast, public performance, mechanical and in some cases, the synchronization rights of music copyright holders. It was created under Section 49 of the Copyright Law, Act 690 of 2005. The agency collects royalties for music rights owners in Ghana. Before 2005, that function had been operated by the Copyright Society of Ghana. The organization has faced regular criticism about payment of royalties to stakeholders resulting from the failure of music users in Ghana to pay for the use of music. As of 2018, the organization was led by Rex Omar. As of February 2024, Jackson Brefo, was the CEO for GHAMRO.
