For the government to put soldiers in charge of NACOB will be an admission that the present government is unable to deal with corruption in NACOB. If government cannot deal with corruption in NACOB, then where can it deal with corruption? The military might as well take over government. The only solution is for Ghana to have laws that have real sharp teeth that even the president will fear.
We need people in jail with stiff sentences that are not subject to any change until they have done their time.
Presently, it is toothless, so corruption is just like a game to many Ghanaians, like those games we used to play when we were children...where they shoot you and you never die. When they catch you in corruption, pretend the law is doing something, change your coat and start somewhere all over again.

Chief, I agree with you that a new ministry is not required to deal with the energy crisis. Instead, the President should have sacked the minister for Energy who has failed and is incompetent. All what is required is effective and efficient Energy Minister with one deputy who will be responsible for power generation and distribution. How can there be separate ministries for Energy and Power? Is power not part of Energy? Waste of scarce resources.
The President should have sacked the MD of ECG long time ago also for incompetence. Until Mahama takes on incompetent ministers and heads of public institutions, his presidency will fail abysmally.

Corruption is a Ghanaian problem, the soldiers are even worse because they will in addition use intimidation to demand bribes. The soldiers on JJ's Vetting commission became rich overnight due to bribes they got from business men/women, some even married widows of soldiers and civilians killed during the revolution. Corruption thrives because there are no consequences -- no jail times, they simply fire them and that is not a strong enough deterrent.

Author:-Mahmoud...If we may ask, is the NDC new party school another communist ideological institution? The Young Pioneers implanted by Nkrumah in our midst did more harm than good to the development of this country when they usurped power from 1972 to 2001.
Our experience with the quack neo-communists is that, they seize power unjustifiably through coups and counter coups, and Ghanaians only suffer dictatorship, tyranny, corruption and economic mismanagement under them. Being in power now for six years, the NDC has failed again to improve the economy simply because their fundamentals are wrong. In fact, they don't have what it takes to salvage the sinking economy.
Under normal circumstances, political parties are formed to produce leaders democratically. But in the case of NDC, a tyrant created the party with state power and resources to legitimize his illegitimate regime and cling to power fraudulently. NDC is therefore, an artificial and illegitimate party followed by stomach politicians and sycophants.

NACOB should be run by men and women who are patriotic, full of integrity, incorruptible, and with no blemish whatsoever in their being.
If we can't find a civilian in Ghana who has these qualities, then we are in big trouble.

Please tell me, which category of persons in Ghana engage in substance abuse more than soldiers?
Please give us a break. Were there no drug traffickers during the military regimes?
I am honestly getting fed up with all these persons who have the media platform and masquerade as analysts? Some of them are worse than those who are creating these problems. Clearly, his analysis deficit is showing here.
The problem we have in this country of ours is enforcement, simple and short. We need fearless and selfless people who are ready to enforce the laws and regulations.
We do not need people who would massage the problems.
NACOB requires resources to function. Whoever cares to know must understand that drug enforcement agencies are well resourced and funded institutions. The NACOB we have now is pitifully underfunded. Staff there are literally volunteers. Are we serious?

What is it about Ghana's dime a dozen think thanks that enable people to make infantile assertions that is beneath even Ghana’s primary school level intelligence?
I will urge David Agbee to read the constitutions of the very nations Ghana desperately seek to emulate and may just realize the Armed Forces in those nations are not involved in domestic law enforcement but there to protect the nation against foreign enemies.
If ineffectiveness and or corruption is at the root of NACOB problems then trust me if I say the Armed Forces are a reflection of the larger society and will be no better if not worse. For carrying the logic to its ultimate conclusion would advocate military rule as well since the political parties have not been able to move Ghana past where we were prior to the 1966 coup.

David Agbee, as Executive Director for Ghana Institute of Governance and Security, I think you should have a good memory or at least a good knowledge of the history of the security of how Ghana`s borders were secured or guarded. Ghana`s borders inncluding the airport and seaports were managed by borders who after passing out as soldiers were given a special training as border guards. The Ghana Border Guards was dissolved by Rawlings` PNDC in the late 80s and the pesonel reabsolved in the Ghana Armed Forces to fight corruption at Ghana`s borders. David Agbee as an Executive Director for Ghana Institute of Governance and Security therefore owes Ghanaians a responsibility of coming out with a solution as to how best to stop corruption at the country`s borders instead of replacing the trained personel at Ghana`s borders with soldiers who are not trained in looking for smuggled good at our borders.

An old man working for NACOB marries a much younger woman. However, no matter what he tries, he can never bring her to heavenly feeling.
He goes to a sex therapist and tells him his problem.
"What you've got to do is encourage your wife to fantasize," says the therapist.
"Hire a young Soldier man to stand at your bedside and get him to wave a towel while you have sex."
Though puzzled, the old man agrees to give it a go.
He hires a young body builder Soldier man to stand over the couple the next time they have sex.
The Soldier bodybuilder stands by waving a towel but still the wife won't heavenly feeling.
The old man goes back to the therapist, who suggests the old man and the bodybuilder swap positions.
That night the Soldier bodybuilder and the wife have sex while the old man stands at the bedside waving the towel.
In a very short time the wife has a series of earth-shattering heavenly feelings.
"Hah!" shouts the old man, slapping the bodybuilder's butt.

History of the drug trade and wars waged to sustain it were lead by military men. The British, Dutch, Austrian and U.S. wars to force the people of China to buy opium at gun point were lead by generals. The war to protect Afghanistan poppy fields were lead by NATO generals, who helped to arm the Mudhahedins and later the Talibans.
It is on record that whiles NATO was occupying Afghanistan the drug lord of that country was the brother of the Afghan president.
The first war between the U.S., Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania were for the U.S. to occupy the ports of North African countries and to use them to export opium from Afghanistan, through Turkey into South East Asia.

THIS IS A STUPID SUGGESTION. THE SOLDIERS ARE FOR GHANA'S EXTERNAL DEFENCE. IT WILL BE WORSE IF GHANA SOLDIERS ARE MADE TO RUN NACOB.

IS THIS MAN AN EX-SOLDIER OR A FOOL? CORRUPTION WAS NEVER HIGHER IN ALL THE REGIMES OVERTHROWN BY SOLDIERS THAN IN THE SUCCEEDING MILITARY REGIMES. NO SOLDIERS ARE MORE CORRUPT THAN THEIR CIVILIAN COUNTERPARTS.

the military rule
The whole ghana then this corrupt democracy Government

If 3 women were escorted to the aircraft through the VVIP Lounge then what happened to the other 2 women.
Maybe they were lucky to escape arrest.
Who are these women?

Soldiers are also human. We are always looking for cheap sensational options instead of tackling the root cause of the problem.
Am really shocked that you call your self a security analyst and you forgotten drug money is used in facilitating of terrorism in the world. If you think the soldiers can handle NACOB. Give them de chance you will see
you are in deep sleep.what are talking? what good did they bring to this nation during their tenure as our leaders
what are you talking? eiiiibeeei.soldiers you mean? please wise up.
I THINK THE BEST SOLUTION TO NARCOTIC SMUGGLING THROUGH KOTOKA IS FOR THE GOVT TO CONTRACT SECURITY AT THE AIRPORT TO FOREIGN FIRM. GHANAIANS ARE TOO CORRUPT FOR THAT JOB
