Share intelligence you have with authorities to deal with drug trafficking – NDC to NPP

The Deputy Director of Elections and IT at the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko-Computer, has called for cooperation between political parties in addressing drug trafficking in Ghana. Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse, Tanko-Computer stated that individuals responsible for clandestine laboratories processing illicit drugs should be invited to provide further information to security agencies.

The National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, recently alleged that drug traffickers have established laboratories in Ghana to process narcotics for export. Boakye, also known as Nana B, suggested that he has intelligence on these operations and alleged that government officials may have aided these activities. Responding to Boakye's comments, Tanko-Computer urged the NPP and its leader to share any credible intelligence they possess with the relevant authorities.

Tanko-Computer emphasized that the government is open to receiving information and urged citizens not to conceal any information that could threaten the nation's security, as per the 1992 Constitution of Ghana. He stated that it is their constitutional duty to disclose such information and not to withhold it for political reasons.
