Stiffer sanctions for the drug barons, couriers, the politicians they sponsor, etc. For instance, a mandatory 40-year custodial sentence with confiscation of all assets. As some English people say, "that'll learn 'em a thing". And politicians should also stop looting our resources. It makes others angry, green-eyed and desperate.

Who's this guy? Dr. Kwesi Aning, instead giving solid solution to eradiate drugs you are offering politicial and other Ghanaian officials an excuse to "steal, kill and destroy" our people an country. Drugs kill and destroy. Law enforcemen and politician know who the drug traffickrs are. Stop them before they destroy the country, before they bring in the arms and guns on our streets.

National Security invited Captain (Rtd.)Budu Koomson for questioning when he raised an alarm over a lurking military coup.
Will National Security invite Dr. Aning for saying that the drug menace cannot be eradicated because politicians and polical parties benefit from the trade? Where is his evidence?

Drug business is big time money business and it is the politicians who are behind it.
The financiers of our political parties are the people involved. If anyone doubts this he should ask the president ,the national security boss, the police boss and the nacob boss.
It is the so call big guys in the political parties that deal in drugs period.
They know themselves and that is why when their parties are in power. they get so much from the drug trade and out of which they finance their various parties.
It is the americans and the europeans that must look sharp and arrest the drug barons in the various parties to save their young ones from visiting the rehab centres.
The whites must be a little serious and stop pampering the corrupt african governments.

What about trade in small arms and ammunitions which America,Russia,France,Switzerland Britan,etc are producing in huge quantities and selling all over the world and which are being used to kill,maim millions of innocent prople all over the world?Is it not these arms which 'terrorists' are using to terrorise the world?Is it not these arms which are being used to destabilize countries all over the world?Why then concentrade on only the drugs trade.Those nations involved in the arms trade are as equally guilty as those indulging in the drugs business.The arms they produce are being used to kill millions of innocent people and to destabilize societies all over the world.These nations must be held to account for the devastating effect the arms they produice are having on socities in particular and the world in general.The trade in arms is as equally dangerous as the trade in drugs:it is making nations and individuals rich and helplng to promote criminal activities all over the world .

This guy was quoted on wikileaks refering to Nana Akuffo Addo's drug record with the German intelligence. His cousin is still in jail for drug related offences. Amonteng is also still in jail for doing drugs. The cup fits NPP. No doubt about that.

When you put square pegs in round holes what do you expect? We have the professionals who can do more than this if they are identified and positioned. when you arrest the boys and leave the masters you have done nothing. the God fathers are there and they can employ some other boys. Drug trae is a business like any other business. They also employ professionals from accountants lawyers estate developers doctors and other analogous people. So if you take an ordinary person as compared to this professionals you can see what you are doing.If one talks about human resource, we have some fortunately in the country. The government should find a way of identifying the professionals who have the skills to break this menace before it is too late. Criminology literature suggested if drugs find their way into a country unseen then terrorist can also infiltrate becos they move together. Drug trafficking, money laundering and terrorism have links.

Pumpuni, you are a real pumpuni. How can't you use your brain to do a simple logical thought or analysis?. So to you talking about a coup d'état which could set the nation backward economically, politically, socially and create a serious concern about National security and safety of all citizens is the same as talking about the dangers of drugs. I hope you are not only an NPP follower but a Ghanaian, who has someone concerns about the advancement of Ghana in general

Dr. Kwesi Aning, do you have it under authority that drug trade is financing the political parties or you are hallucinating about political parties and drug trade? If there is evidence that political parties are being financed by the drug trade let us hear it. We are not dumb. We can assess whether the evidence is true or not. We will be the juries of your evidence and adjudicate the case. We have a drug problems in Ghana but we have to be careful in assessing the blame. A politician may be a drug baron but that does not mean his/her political party acquiesce in the drug trade.

There is no doubt about this case and it is not knew to Ghanaians. Is already clear the party behind this evil activities. NPP started this soon after they came to power lead by former cocaine president Kufour. Even a member of NPP was caught with drug in U S. The whole Ghanaians and world knew clearly about that. If only Ghanaians will come together to ban this drug party of Npp, it will be the best idea. They are drug terrorists.
