Cocaine busts: It's surprising that scanners at Ghana's airport can't detect cocaine but detect canned drinks and perfumes - Kwarteng
What we are seeing looks like organised crime. We expect the government to tell us what it intends doing about these drug seizures linked to Ghana.
Kwasi Kwarteng, a communications team member of Ghana's ruling New Patriotic Party, has urged Ghanaians to improve living conditions in Ghana to deter them from migrating abroad. Kwarteng made this call during a TV3 interview on November 7. The ambassador of Ghana to the US, Victor Smith, echoed this sentiment and urged successful Ghanaians in the diaspora to return home and invest in the local economy.
Smith also warned Ghanaians in the US to be cautious about where they live due to the recent killings of Ghanaians in the US. Smith revealed that his son faces bullying in school and has reported the matter to the authorities. Both officials acknowledged the existence of racism in America, with Smith's son experiencing racist bullying.
The recent killings of two Ghanians in the Bronx, one in a dump site and another shot while walking to school, have sparked concerns about safety in the US for Ghanaians.
