Unpopular Facts about the Liberia Music Union..‼️💔✊🔥
Seven years after Sammy Gray Gboguy Jr. was elected President of the Musicians Union of Liberia (MUL) in 2019, the Union remains in limbo.
Two years into his tenure, Gboguy left Liberia, handing affairs to Tony Kabateh. Kabateh also exited, leaving Milkman to steer the Union. Milkman conducted elections, but shockingly, the winners were never announced.
In a controversial twist, the Ministry of Information bypassed the process and imposed A.B. Swaray as President — a move many musicians still question as political interference.
Today, MUL is fractured, leaderless, and lacking credibility. Musicians are left without protection, royalties, or representation.
The Question remains unanswered, How did a union built for artists become a political chessboard?
