Cocaine seizures: NPP wants Muntaka, NACOC and GACL bosses out over foreign interceptions linked to Ghana
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has demanded the resignation of Interior Minister Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, citing concerns over Ghana’s handling of suspected drug trafficking activities and the growing number of cocaine consignments intercepted abroad.
Henry Nana Boakye, the National Second Vice Chairman of the NPP, has demanded that the heads of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) and the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) be sacked over recent cocaine seizures. The seizures have caused international embarrassment for Ghana. Boakye questioned their mandate and accused President John Dramani Mahama of failing to take decisive action.
He pointed to the arrest of a Syrian national at Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut, who had 40 packages of cocaine weighing 46.7 kilograms. Boakye believes this is evidence of an organized cartel operating through Ghana. Despite a task force given two weeks to produce a roadmap, nothing has changed. Boakye also criticized the Interior Minister for admitting that France has lost confidence in Ghana due to drug seizures. The NPP demands transparency, naming the suspects, and holding them accountable.
