Former Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul has called for Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) Chief Executive Officer Brigadier-General Paul Seidu Tanye-Kulono to step aside during investigations into drug trafficking allegations. The GPHA boss is accused of involvement in a recent cocaine seizure that left Ghana and was intercepted in France.
President John Dramani Mahama convened a high-level meeting after receiving information about the seizure, leading to the arrest of 10 people, including four Customs officers, in connection with the case. Nitiwul believes that the investigation should extend beyond those directly tied to the container and cover other major cocaine busts from the past year.
He also urged for a broader, cross-sector committee to investigate Ghana's drug trafficking problem and recommended transparency and further action to restore public confidence in the fight against illicit drugs.
