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 flag bearer Nana Addo is a user of the substance or not? That’s what we want to hear.

All the drug barons are dying for Nana to come to power. Certainly Nana has to pay them back by facilitating their drug business. Besides as a smoker himself Nana will legalise marijuana.

I don't agree with Mr. Mahama for sending BNI to intimidate and harass journalists who reported on the Nayele Ametefeh cocaine scandal. The government should have sued them in an open court for defamation as any aggrieved person or entity would have done in a democratic system if it feels false information has been published against it. This is because we don't want the NDC to return to its dictatorial and intimidation tactics of the P/NDC era and gag press freedom again.

Muntaka is an "Ashawo" lover caught in the act, and does not have the integrity to become a "Chief Whip" for any respectable party let alone use the platform to preach to others except in NDC party. When the VIP or presidential lounge is used as a cover to transport drugs, the government should have been decent enough to accept responsibility, arresting the culprits whoever they may be, and be seen to be putting things in their right places without being told. This is because, there is no fire without smoke and one plus one is equal to two. That Alhaji Dawood has links with the government.

It's amazing how every Tom, Dick and Harry would want to contribute to this cocaine saga just to appear knowledgeable and important. When did Dr Anning get to know of this information he is putting out here, or is it just a conjecture? What research or survey had he done to come to this conclusion? Please let's be mindful of our pronouncements and stop dragging the name of Ghana into disrepute. This cannot be true!!

This is one of the dumbest statement ever from any Ghanaian official.

I don't blame them but the system we have in the country where any idiot can bring chains of degree and call himself an expert without any experience in that field.

Don't just disgrace your country like that because you don't like NDC or Mahama who has performed so poorly in admn. Do you use a Ghanaian passport? Then you will be tagged.

I have listened to those accusing the Government, the Presidency and the Presidents brother. I have listen to The NPP as well as their Parliamentarians and particularly Kennedy AGYAPONG. I have also read a lot on the vuteberations and hot air always blown by this so called Dr ANNING of the Kofi Annan Centre. WHAT PIECES ME OFF TO THE CORE, WHAT ANNOYS ME IS NONE OF ALL THESE SO CALLED COMMUNICATORS, PARLIAMENTARIANS, SECURITY EXPERTS are not interested in how the cocaine carried from Ghana, came into Ghana, the SOURCE as we do not produce or grow coca seeds, as we in Ghana do not produce cocaine out of the coca. This country is just one shit motherfucking country, full of idiotic self serving politicians. The way out is not by the politicians, solution to Ghana's problem does not lie with the politicians but with us the citizens.
