The Acting Executive Secretary of the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons, Dr Adam Bonaa, has led a delegation comprising officials of the commission and representatives from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on a courtesy visit to the Deputy Attorney General, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, as part of efforts under Operation KAFO VI to combat illicit arms proliferation in Ghana.
The visit aimed to foster stronger institutional collaboration in the fight against illicit arms, with a particular focus on expediting the passage of the Draft Arms Bill into law.
Dr Bonaa emphasised that the Draft Arms Bill would significantly bolster the commission's ability to address arms-related challenges, close existing legal loopholes, and enhance responses to emerging threats.
During the meeting, Dr Justice Srem-Sai reaffirmed the Attorney General's commitment to supporting the initiative. "The Bill will be fast-tracked to ensure a comprehensive legal regime on arms and ammunition in Ghana," he stated.
