The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, has called on the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) and the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to show the same zeal in prosecuting major drug trafficking cases as they do with smaller ones.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, 25th April, the Assin South MP questioned the apparent silence surrounding the prosecution of high-profile cocaine seizures earlier this year.

Rev. Ntim Fordjour referred specifically to two massive drug hauls with an estimated combined street value of $500 million.

“How far with the prosecution of the half-billion-dollar cocaine busts?” he queried.

“Now we hear commendable commitment from NACOC towards making our ports no-go for drug trafficking.

“The question to NACOC and NIB is, what happened to the prosecution of traffickers of big busts totalling half a billion dollars earlier this year?”

He went on to contrast this silence with recent updates on smaller drug trafficking cases.

“There’s a good update on the prosecution of small busts of 89.74kg. When are the suspects of the big busts of $350 million and $150 million going to begin?

“When will armed operatives storm their houses to arrest them for prosecution?” he asked, highlighting what he suggested was an imbalance in law enforcement efforts.

The MP stressed the need for fairness and consistency in the fight against narcotics.

“We are all concerned and collectively support the call for zero tolerance for drug trafficking, and therefore demand that big busts must not be shielded for small busts to be showcased.

“Big busts must equally be prosecuted just with the same alacrity as the small busts,” he concluded.
