We'll said, ma bro Ekow. From your submission, it appears you have been following the yearly releases of the reports and concluded that the latest report covers the year 2016. I wouldn't have much arguement with you but very surprising to note that the owners of the report failed or forgot to indicate the year this report refers to. By the way, no NPP guru has spoken about the report; not even the Narcotics Control Board or whatever. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
No dry bones have been mentioned.You do not have to be a space scientist to know that reports of such nature lag by a year or two.This is the tenth month of 2017 so no comprehensive report of such nature can be made for 2017.As I said chill we will soon know those who deal in narcotics
Where did the report mention 2016 ? When dried bones are mention, the aged shiver. I know very well this report will disturb NPP and Nana Addo very much. It will not surprise me one bit when one day Ghana becomes the leading cocaine traffic point in the world. As I comment now l know some big wigs (big time drug barons) are bracing themselves up for opportunities to resume their drug business. Very soon cocaine will be sold in the open markets like salt- thanks to Opana and his Narcotic Peddlers Party.
YOU HAVE KENNEDY AGYEPONG,NANA ADDO DANQUAH AKUFO ADDO AND OSEI KWAME DESPITE IN GHANA WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? THEY ARE THE SENIOR USERS AND DEALERS.
fake news.
Another achievement for the 10 months government?
This is a 2016 report.So everyone chill.
