Yaw Sarpong Has Been Down With Stroke For A Year Now- Manager Says As He Calls For Support

Nana Poku claims the veteran Gospel musician has been bedridden for more than a year now but they chose to make it private due to personal reasons best known to them.

Talking about financial issues, the manager for the veteran musician claims it is high time the government implemented policies to ensure that veteran musicians get something better as royalties so that during their difficult times or old ages, they will not have to depend on alms for survival.

Nobody talks about royalties, and now musicians die suffering”, he said.

According to him, the pension for musicians or entertainers in Ghanaian society is their royalties, however, the money given to veteran musicians is nothing good to talk about, citing an example that some veteran musicians are given 50 Ghana cedis as their royalties.

He compared Ghana to other foreign countries and said that it is the royalties that the veteran musicians in those foreign countries depend solely on to survive

Musicians in foreign countries don’t beg for help; they rely on royalties
