Minority files motion for bipartisan probe into narcotics consignments linked to Ghana

The Minority in Ghana's Parliament has filed a motion seeking a bipartisan investigation into narcotics consignments linked to the country. Filed by First Deputy Minority Whip and Tolon MP Habib Iddrisu, the motion calls for the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee to examine high-profile drug seizures recorded in Ghana and other nations.

The proposed inquiry aims to investigate how the consignments were processed and cleared in Ghana, the ports from which they were exported, and the intelligence and customs procedures applied. The committee would also assess the effectiveness of security systems at Ghana's ports, airports, and other entry and exit points, with particular attention given to scanning, surveillance, and intelligence capabilities.

The motion seeks information on investigations, arrests, and prosecutions connected to the seizures, as well as an assessment of intelligence sharing and cooperation between Ghanaian authorities and international law-enforcement agencies.
