Indexing government scandals one at a time
Security analyst Dr. Kwesi Aning has described as disturbing the decision by government to exclude the Narcotics Control Board and the National security from inspection agencies at the ports.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made the announcement on Wednesday as part of what he said were efforts to reform the paperless ports system.
Per the reforms, the FDA, Customs division of the GRA and the Ghana Standards Authority are to be in charge of routine checks at the ports.
“Taking National Security and NACOB out raises a lot of red flags and sends a rather bad signal to our partners in the world of the container control programme…it might be appropriate to go back to the drawing board and look at the institution that do the checks.”
