National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has called for a parliamentary inquiry into reported cases of cocaine trafficking linked to Ghana.
Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called for a parliamentary inquiry into allegations of cocaine trafficking linked to Ghana. Boakye, also known as Nana B, urged Parliament to investigate recent narcotics interceptions and assess whether vulnerabilities in Ghana's port and security systems are facilitating the passage of illicit drugs.
Speaking at an NPP press conference on drug trafficking, Boakye criticized President John Dramani Mahama for failing to address the issue despite his promise of a 24-hour economy. He warned that drug trafficking allegations could harm Ghana's international reputation and subject Ghanaian citizens to increased scrutiny when traveling or conducting business abroad.
Boakye alleged that Ghanaian exporters are facing heightened suspicion at international airports due to the reported drug trafficking cases, adding that they are now met with suspicion and stigma at every airport worldwide. He demanded that Parliament scrutinize shipping documents, inspection records, production records, and other relevant documentation as part of an immediate inquiry into the matter.
