Ghana's Executive Director of the Africa Centre for Security and Counterterrorism, Emmanuel Kotin, has called for a more systematic approach to tackling drug trafficking in the country. Speaking on GTV’s Current Agenda, Kotin emphasized the need for a long-term solution that goes beyond political arguments and focuses on strengthening systems such as border security, enforcement measures, and intelligence gathering.
He highlighted the importance of assessing the effectiveness of security screening systems at Ghana's airports and questioned the financing of political activities, questioning whether organised crime networks may have links to such financing. Kotin stressed that drug trafficking should be treated as a continuous national security concern, urging authorities to investigate possible links between organised crime, drug trafficking, and wider security challenges.
