Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, an Assin South MP and Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, has refuted claims that the previous Akufo-Addo government removed the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) from port inspection duties.

Fordjour clarified that NACOC operates as an intelligence body, relaying information to other institutions for compulsory inspections when necessary.
