First Deputy Minority Whip files private members’ motion for inquiry into Ghana-linked narcotics seizures

The proposed inquiry comes ahead of Parliament’s extraordinary sitting on Tuesday, September 29, which was summoned by Speaker Alban Bagbin following a petition led by Mr Iddrisu over recent narcotics seizures linked to Ghana.

The First Deputy Minority Whip and Member of Parliament for Tolon, Habib Iddrisu, has filed a private members’ motion seeking a parliamentary inquiry into a series of high-profile narcotics seizures linked to Ghana.

The motion seeks the establishment of an Ad Hoc Committee under Article 103 of the 1992 Constitution and Order 262 of Parliament’s Standing Orders to conduct what the sponsors describe as a thorough, transparent and bipartisan inquiry.
