Fully agree with the ex NACOB Board Chairman. The VIP and VVIP has always been like that for years and indeed it is prone to drug trafficking, money laundering and all vices. In Europe and other developed countries to get a permission for some one to use the VIP or the VVIP it is not so easy. Here in Ghana even labourers coming into the country and provided they have white skin, they will be passed through VIP or VVIP thus compromising security
and protocol. It is high time the government or for that matter the security agencies take drastic measures to correct this anomaly. This loophole needs to be closed and screw down. Those who are in charge there must be characters we can trust and not collecting USD 100 to USD200 and opening the gate wide for every body to use the facility.

JDM is a disgrace to Ghana. JDM and NDC have turned the VVIP into a drug entry point for drug barons and baroness. Ruby Mahama is a close ally of the 1st family. NDC is the official mouthpiece of the cocaine woman.

Heads must roll at the VIP lounge and the place rearranged if Mahama really wants to prove his innocence or prove that Ghanaians did not mistakenly hire him for the job.

If Captain will tell us that the VIP lounge at KIA is like a market place, I wonder what role he is or was playing as a Nacob chairman. This clearing shows that some of the board members are doing absolution nothing.

When international intelligence informed the NPP government headed by Kuffour and his Dwarf Attorney General (Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo in a case with MV Benjamin and 77 parcels of cocaine in Ghana waters what did they do? These were their excuses:

There is no helicopter to look for the Shipp,
The Navy ship is not in good condition for that operation
There is no fuel for the naval boat and also inadequate manning level to uncover MV Benjamin.

All these delay tactics were employed to allow this ship to get repainted in the high seas to avoid being detected. The irony is that the Ghanaian fishermen who whose economic activities in the high sea saw this ship several times before its colour was total changed. At this time the US and the UK intelligence were relying on Ghana to arrest this cocaine loaded ship.

When the alarm blew they managed to show some concern by making some skeleton arrest yet when the substance was sent to the NACOB office for keeps headed by NKRABEA EFFAH DATTERH the cocaine metamorphosed into different powder under his watch. Effah Darteh later resigns to defend the very people who were arrested in that cocaine scandal.

What is even more dangerous and diabolical is the leaked message from wilkileaks, which singled out Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo as one who uses and peddle drugs. Under the guise of NPP their own parliamentarian patented the party as an association of Narcotic Pedlars.

So what is the Aweengah minority leader (Mensa Kyei Bonsu) is trying to lament here?????... bi-partisan what?????? NKWASEASEM. Tell Ghanaian first whether your bearer Nana Addo is a user of the substance or not? That’s what we want to hear.

Since when did you observe this condition at the VVIP and what action did you take to improve the image. Did you talk it over with the Airport Authority or any other person who could bring about change or as typical you narrowly thought it was not your problem or domain to make suggestions although you and especially, the NACOB your people use this lounge very regularly for your everyday activities? It sounds as if you might have another agenda because your Board has been dissolved due to your incompetence and ineffectiveness in combatting drugs and for the promotion of the good image of Ghana.
