NACOC operates in only 66 districts due to resource constraints — Interior Minister

The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) is facing significant operational challenges, including inadequate staffing and equipment shortages, resulting in its presence being limited to only 66 out of Ghana’s 261 districts.

He disclosed that government is expecting the delivery of advanced scanning equipment this week, with additional support expected from the Singaporean government following President John Dramani Mahama’s to the country.

He assured the Committee that once the equipment arrives, government’s priority will be to deploy it strategically to make the Commission’s work more effective.
