An arts-based pressure group of experts, Federation Of Concerned Arts Professionals (FOCAP) has expressed discontent over appalling performance of the Ageing Musicians Welfare Fund (AMWeF).
Ageing Musicians Welfare Fund (AMWeF), which is under Musicians Union of Ghana is intended to take care of the welfare of members of MUSIGA who are 60 years and above but FOCAP, a group aimed at revamping the Ghanaian creative arts industry is displeased about the progress of the fund.
According to conveners of FOCAP, the Fund under MUSIGA started on a credible pedestal in August, 2013 but its growth has been stagnant.
The group stated that it is obvious how President of MUSIGA, Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour and his entourage were touched when they paid a courtesy call on Zylofon Media to express gratitude for reaching out to their ailing Jewel Ackah.
FOCAP is seeking answers from MUSIGA on the establishment of a database for musicians who have become incapacitated during their active years in music and to register all targeted beneficiaries with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).

They are asking the leadership of MUSIGA about the promises made by Tecno Mobile, AshFoam, Kasapreko Company Limited and Starlife Assurance.
The Federation Of Concerned Arts Professionals (FOCAP) subsequently asked MUSIGA about development made so far with regards to the comprehensive study of the music sector.
According to the group, MUSIGA should inform its stakeholders of the implementation of recommendations established by the research institution.
