  Starting from the Parliament House, all Members of Parliament (MPs) should be tested. The seat of government, along with the ministries, police, and military, plays a crucial role in national governance. It seems absurd to demand drug tests when there are so many pressing issues facing Ghana. Why haven’t we been able to address the problem of drugs on the streets? Why haven’t we worked with security agencies to prevent drugs from entering the country or being produced here? Why has this not been achieved? My medical records and status are personal matters; you cannot simply take my samples for testing. Many individuals in positions of authority seem quite uninformed. While other countries are capitalizing on cannabis, we are busy destroying farms. This cycle may leave Africa perpetually in a state of subjugation.

  That's a brilliant suggestion and I believe it should be extended to informal sector business owners who bid for govt contracts to test their compliance against drug use.. Again it should also cover people who apply for Ghana cards, drivers licence as well Ghanaian passport, admissions into our universities..
  This i believe will naturally trigger a scare in the public and stem drastically the use of drugs by citizens..

  Unemployed to pay for the test? Once or each time the opportunity arises?

  Could the absence of employment be a contributing factor to the use of drugs?

  The drug test must include those on the jobs also.
  Suprisingly, some security personels are on drugs.
  So who checks who.
  Some young teachers are also drug addicts.
  Dtuh has almost taken over our youths.
  God save ud

  I entirely agree with the Deputy Director General. It has been a worrying trend as to how young people with careless hearts abuse drugs without recourse to their lives. If this suggestion is put to test, it will not only save our nation from a future collapse of human resource but strengthen it for us. I support the call.
