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).
The caucus states that 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 the specific amount of money retrieved in the operation.
Additionally, the caucus is demanding accountability on a cargo suspected to be cocaine and cash transported into the country by two suspicious flights that landed at the Kotoka International Airport in March 2025.
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 trafficking and money laundering. "We demand accountability from the National Security for the gold bars and cash retrieved, and what they intend to do with them.
