The NPP and its assigns like Ursula Owusu and Ken Adjei Kuranchie, are always up in arms when the NDC Government takes credit for making Ghana an unattractive destination for the illicit drug trade.
But since I do not give a toss about what Ursula Owusu and the likes of Ken Adjei Kuranchie think, I shall continue to flag the drug matter and will continue to give President Atta Mills 100% credit for clamping down on the drug barons and their illicit and nation-destroying drug trade.
First, it was Mr. Robert Ayalingo, who was leading NACOB to clamp down on the drug barons.
Indeed, three months into the Atta Mills Administration, Ayalingo made it public that cocaine was in short supply because the barons had relocated for fear of being busted.
Those were the days that Ursula Owusu, a self-styled gender activist, and paramour of Akufo-Addo, made it public that she used to be on the NACOB Board and that she knows it for a fact that thanks to Kufuor, the barons have invested heavily in Ghana, and will definitely re-launch their business in Ghana.
Of course, we cannot lose sight of the fact that it is the likes of Ursula and Akufo-Addo (after he deconfiscated the assets of his in-law Raymond Amankwah, a notorious international drug baron) who succeeded in christening the NPP, NARCOTICS PEDDLERS PARTY.
Also, there is no denying the fact that Ghanaians refused to give Akufo-Addo the mandate to move Ghana forward in the wrong direction because of the plethora of drug allegations that continue to hang around his neck.
Now it is the turn of Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, the new Head of NACOB, to deal drastically with the barons, and I must say that he is executing his job with extreme commitment to supporting H.E the President to make sure that Ghana is no longer a subsidiary for the illicit drug trade.
In the past two weeks, Akrasi Sarpong and his colleagues, with the effective collaboration of Lt. Col. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey’s National Security outfit, are making life unbearable for the drug barons and their assigns.
Akrasi Sarpong is busting the druggies “ waa waa waa” and I am damn happy.
Yaw Akrasi Sarpong positively caught my attention when I heard him on Joy Midday News the day Ibrahim Sima was busted.
I repeat; I was very excited when I heard Yaw Akrasi Sarpong on Joy FM.
The NACOB boss called the bluff of the drug barons and their assigns, and I could not help admiring the manner in which Akrasi Sarpong put across his point.
Akrasi Sarpong was reacting to some spurious allegation by a certain Kwame Akufo, the lawyer for the busted EXOPA boss, Sima Ibrahim.
Incidentally, Kwame Akufo is a key member of the lawyers in Akufo-Addo’s chambers who specialize in defending busted drug barons.
If my memory serves me right, and I know it does, the selfsame Kwame Akufo, and the likes of Atta Akyea, Asante Bedietuo and co, were deeply involved in the Venezuelan drug bust as well as the Tagor drama.
What really excited me, was the way Akrasi Sarpong made emphatically clear that he will never allow Kwame Akfuo and his drug-barons-defending group of lawyers, to spit on the work of NACOB.
Apparently, thinking that the narcotics peddlers party was still in power, Kwame Akufo, appeared at NACOB and acted in a very insulting and vulgar manner.
Fortunately, Yaw Akrasi Sarpong was in a no-nonsense mood, and walked the arrogant Kwame Akufo out of the interrogation chamber.
Yeah! Yeah!
Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, we salute you for walking the arrogant chap out of the interrogation chamber.
This arrogant chap called Kwame Akufo; was all over the place boasting that was going to be the youngest Attorney General in the government of Akufo-Addo.
Thank God that wishes are not horses otherwise, ‘beggars” like Kwame Akufo would have been really taking Ghana for a radarless ride.
We are building a Better Ghana, and there is no way we must allow the likes of Kwame Akufo, to run roughshod over any institution of State.
Angered by the unruly conduct of Kwame Akufo, Yaw Akrasi Sarpong said that he has asked INTERPOL to profile Kwame Akufo.
According to Akrasi Sarpong, he has taken that decision in order to get to the bottom of whether Kwame Akufo is an integral part of the narcotics business in Ghana.
According to Akrasi Sarpong, the drug barons, with their stinking wealth, buy, doctors, lawyers, police officers, clergy, politicians etc, hence the decision to profile Kwame Akufo because of his penchant for defending busted drug barons.
Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, ayekoo ooo ayekoo. “Mo ni adjwuma!!!”
Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, His Excellency the President has committed himself to making Ghana a drugs-free geographical entity and you have been given the mandate to bust and flush out these dangerous elements in our society.
Yaw Akrasi Sarpong, we are building a Better Ghana and God bless you for being an integral part of the Better Ghana process.
As for those boys at Akufo-Addo’s chambers, they better get into their heads that their days are over.
Never; never, will they be allowed to use their low-grade law qualification to defend drug barons and their assigns and make Ghana an attractive and preferred destination for members of the international drug cartels.
Yaw Akrasi Sarpong; bust those drug barons and their assigns and chase the crazy “baldheads” out of the town!
