NPP Minority should share illicit drug manufacturing intelligence with security agencies – Noah Adamtey

Private legal practitioner Noah Adamtey has urged the NPP Minority in Parliament to share any intelligence they have on alleged illicit drug manufacturing activities in Ghana with the appropriate parliamentary committees and security agencies. Speaking on GTV’s Current Agenda, Mr Adamtey emphasized that information about suspected drug manufacturing facilities should not be kept within political circles and should be submitted to relevant institutions such as the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC), the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and other intelligence bodies.

He defended NACOC against criticism over drug seizures involving Ghanaian suspects or networks operating outside the country, stating that NACOC works with international partners to combat drug trafficking and that placing blame on them is premature. Adamtey called for drug trafficking to be treated as a national concern rather than a matter of political competition, urging the government, Parliament, opposition parties, and other stakeholders to work together to strengthen Ghana’s borders and support state agencies in the fight against drug trafficking.
