Head of Public Events and Communications at Charter House, Robert Klah has dismissed claims by musician Sista Afia that, the Ghana Music Awards scheme has purposefully snubbed her.

Addressing Sista Afia directly, he urged her to engage in a conversation to address any concerns she may have, affirming that there are no personal vendettas against her within the Ghana Music Awards organization.
The executive member explained the nomination process, stating that a research team evaluates songs and determines their suitability for various award categories.
Sista Afia, whose real name is Francisca Gawugah is renowned for hit songs like “Asuoden,” “Corner Corner,” and “Jeje.”
