Interior Minister Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka has stated that Ghana's security agencies possessed no technology for detecting narcotics at the country's ports and borders for more than a year after the NDC administration took office. According to Muntaka, officers responsible for intercepting drug shipments were relying solely on their physical observation. He explained that during this period, security personnel used their eyes to inspect cargo, particularly when scans raised suspicions. These remarks were made during a discussion on Joy FM about the nation's efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking. The minister's disclosure comes amid several narcotics cases linked to Ghana, including multiple cocaine seizures and a significant methamphetamine shipment intercepted in Australia. The lack of detection equipment raises questions about the volume of illicit cargo that may have passed through Ghana's entry points undetected. Muntaka indicated that his ministry has since taken steps to address this equipment gap and enhance the fight against illicit drugs.
