The former Vice President and NPP presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has raised alarm over what he says is Ghana's growing international notoriety for drug trafficking, accusing the NDC government of responding with mere meetings instead of taking decisive action.

Addressing the NPP National Delegates Conference in Kumasi, the 2028 flagbearer said Ghana's name is being dragged through the ports of Europe as drugs pass through Ghana's borders unnoticed.

"Our dear motherland is gaining notoriety for drugs being arrested abroad, having passed through our borders unnoticed. Our country's name is being dragged through the ports of Europe, and the government has answered with meetings, not results," he said.

He called for a bipartisan committee of Parliament with powers to summon witnesses and demand shipping records.

He stressed; “Arresting couriers is not enough. Ghanaians want to know who is financing these shipments and how they keep getting through. As many religious groups, Civil Society Organizations and concerned Ghanaians have expressed, this is ruining the international image of our country and we must act now.”
