According to the veteran musician, GHAMRO among other groups based in Takoradi after paying a courtesy call to him have also supported him with some amount to help him take care of his hospital bills.

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.

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.
