Minority demands immediate suspension of Ghana-Colombia maritime deal over cocaine concerns

The Minority Caucus on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee is demanding the immediate suspension of Ghana’s maritime and port cooperation arrangement with Colombia over growing concerns about cocaine trafficking.

The Minority also references a JoyNews report which said Belgian authorities ranked Ghana as the fifth-largest country of origin for cocaine seized at the port of Antwerp.

The Caucus says the agreement poses a national security concern amid what it describes as a surge in large-scale cocaine seizures linked to Ghana.
