The second term of musician Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour, as the President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) , is near its end and like any leader, he wants to be remembered for his good works.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM with Andy Dosty, Obuor said an achievement he is proud of and would like to be known for is the establishment of the Ageing Musicians Welfare Funds (AMWeF).


AMWeF was established in 2013 to cater to the needs of veteran musicians in the country,

“It started as a benevolent donation fund. Every six months and give every member ¢200. Then they had about 102 registered members,” he stated.



According to Obour, the AMWeF has grown in members and services to the veteran musicians.

AMWeF organises health screening for members and also partners with hospitals like Dampong Medical Centre and MDS Lancet to treat these old musicians of their ailment, he added.

Also, health walks, games and benefits concerts, have been organised through the musicians ageing funds.

“On 29th March, they had musicians all over Ghana joining the games; they played draughts, ludu and other games,” Obour said.
