Blocking cocaine probe lends weight to claims of political protection for traffickers – Assin South MP

“For the fact that the Speaker of Parliament and the Majority NDC gagged this inquiry goes to corroborate the points that Global Organised Crime Index have put up, and they have alleged that persons and groups peddling drugs and trafficking cocaine in Ghana receive political protection.”Ntim Fordjour said the decision to block the inquiry corroborates concerns raised in the 2025 Global Organised Crime Index, which suggests that political protection may help explain a decline in visible cocaine trafficking in Ghana.

John Ntim Fordjour, says the Speaker’s decision to reject the Minority’s motion for an inquiry into recent cocaine seizures lends weight to concerns about political protection for drug traffickers in Ghana.
