Of course we are in a cocaine crisis and try as government spinners manouvre to relegate the subject to the backburner, away from public discourse, the outcome is anything but effective and convincing.
It is a subject government would rather is ignored but in politics the opposition would simply not let go its hold of a major fault line like this.
When the MV Benjamin cocaine matter cropped up it became a cornerstone of the NDC administration’s campaign as they exploited it for their electoral gains even when it came nowhere near the one under review.
Cocaine worth 80 bags of cement in weight could not have left our shores without the nod of the corridors of power.
Who is Musah Attah or Karyansu? The Presidency is yet to respond to the allegation that he is part of the President’s security.
We won’t accept the crap that he resigned a few months ago from his position because the monthly salary of GHC 6000 he received was meagre.
What role did he play in the movement of the stuff from Ghana?
For a CID boss too quick to hold press conferences over TikTokers and so-called claims of possessing names of influential persons connected to the Ghana Joloff saga we expect her to do same with the cocaine crisis.
While waiting for the names of the influential persons whose details she found in the mobile phone of Salomay Awity Baffoe according to her we demand a similar treatment and excitement about how so much cocaine was able to leave our shores.
Perhaps it is a subject too hot to warrant ‘an emergency press conference.’ Not when the French have written a negative testimonial about our national security management of the subject.
We would have expected COP Lydia Donkor to at least tell us who Musah Attah, aka Komo, aka Karyansu is?
Lydia Donkor’s quickness to hold an emergency press conference over poor Salomay was understandable. It was an attempt at dousing the negative effects of the intelligence failure the national security apparatus has suffered so far.
At first it was a dead woman who was declared wanted over the Ghana Joloff saga then came another lady said to be the one sharing the contents of Ghana Joloff for a fee. Oops. A coup a-cooking segment was also included in the earlier charge sheet.
Groping in the dark is an apt expression for the morose national security system in the face of the cocaine crisis as it teases them humiliatingly.
