‘I don’t trust parliament; it’ll be a waste of time’ – Inusah Fuseini on cocaine seizure probe

Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini expressed skepticism about Parliament's ability to effectively investigate the recent cocaine seizure linked to Ghana. Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Fuseini stated that he has "zero trust" in Parliament, due to its failure to demonstrate its ability to separate partisan political considerations from national issues.

He argued that the drug issue would not change the situation and that calling Parliament for an inquiry would be a "useless waste of time." Instead, Fuseini advocated for intelligence agencies to lead the investigation. His comments come in response to the Minority's call for a parliamentary probe following the French customs seizure of nearly 3.9 tonnes of cocaine from a container shipped from Ghana at the port of Dunkirk.

The Speaker of Parliament has since recalled MPs from their recess to meet on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Fuseini's stance adds to the concerns raised about whether an inquiry by MPs, amidst the political dispute over the seizure, would yield meaningful answers. Dr. John Osae-Kwapong, a fellow at the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), shared a similar view, expressing doubt that a parliamentary inquiry into the cocaine seizure would produce significant results.
