The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns over what it deems as the increasing cases of drug trafficking and money laundering in the country, barely three months after the New Patriotic Party NPP handed over power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to them, nearly two months after a raid on 12 containers of gold and cash at Sapeiman in Accra, the National Security has failed to brief the public on the status of investigations to ascertain the culprits and the actual quantity of gold and specific amount of money retrieved in the operation.
Addressing journalists, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, urged the government to be transparent in its fight against drug
“We demand accountability from the National Security for the gold bars and cash retrieved and what they intend to do with it. The Minority Caucus, as responsible opposition as we are in absolute circumspection, has been patient and originally given two clear months for National Security to communicate the status of their investigation with the public,”He demanded.
