The Christian Council of Ghana has urged state institutions to intensify investigations into drug financing, rather than focusing solely on couriers. This recommendation came during a meeting with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Policy Committee on Security, Intelligence and Defence. The Council emphasized that all individuals, regardless of their political or economic status, should be held accountable for their roles in narcotics trafficking.
Reverend Enoch Nii Narh Thompson, the Chairman of the Christian Council, cited Ghana's Constitution and relevant laws to support his call for a more comprehensive approach to combating drug financing. He highlighted the potential of the Narcotics Control Commission Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and the Whistleblower Act to trace, freeze, and confiscate assets linked to criminal activities.
The Council also pledged to strengthen its efforts against youth substance abuse through the "Sound Youth Sound Nation" programme, which includes counseling, peer education, and community engagement.
