Ghana gaining notoriety for drugs on international front under NDC – Bawumia

Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has raised concerns about what he describes as Ghana’s growing notoriety for drug trafficking on the international front. Speaking at the NPP National Delegates Conference at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, Dr Bawumia said the recent drug shipments linked to Ghana were damaging the country’s hard-won international reputation. According to him, the mere arrest of drug dealers is not enough to address the menace, and there is a need for a bipartisan parliamentary committee to investigate who is behind the shipments. Dr Bawumia stated that under the NPP administration, drug-related arrests were made in Ghana, which helped prevent international embarrassment for the country. He noted, however, that under the current NDC government, drugs were slipping through to other countries before being intercepted, exposing Ghana to international disgrace. He therefore called on the government to be transparent and allow a full bipartisan investigation to protect Ghana’s reputation and ensure that those behind the illicit trade are brought to book.Source: otecfmghana.com
