It is not everything I can put out at this stage because we are still investigating and interrogating people. There are a lot of things that are not adding up. You could see that there is some involvement of some people within the system”.
“Even if you put all these gadgets, remember it is going to be operated by human beings. So if the wrong persons are sitting there, you can bring all the gadgets of this world; it will not be effective,” he added.
“We have changed our modus operandi and the way we place personnel. All of this is to make sure we protect our borders,” he stated.
However, Felix Kwakye Ofosu disclosed that the minister clarified his remarks before Parliament, disclosing that the Minister’s reference to the involvement of people in the drug trade was about security officials.

“Indeed, in the case of the France cocaine bust, four customs officials have been arrested. They are currently undergoing trial. That is what the interior minister meant, and he has made it clear,” he said.
“So please let us limit taking people out of context and saying things that are not accurate,” he said.
He further added, “I repeat that under this Fourth Republic, the only political party whose prominent member has been shown to be involved in drug trafficking is the New Patriotic Party”.
He added: “There’s nobody in the NDC today who has been shielded for involvement in drug trafficking.”
“I understand that drug trafficking is a major. You don’t have to inform the president. President Mahama, look, we are being very discerning to clamp down on it, no matter what it takes, no matter whose ox is gored,” he said.
