Former Tamale Central MP Inusah Fuseini has questioned Parliament’s ability to conduct a meaningful inquiry into the recent cocaine seizure linked to Ghana, saying he has “zero trust” in its ability to handle the matter without partisan considerations.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile, he argued that intelligence and security agencies should investigate the case instead of Parliament.
“I don’t trust Parliament. I have zero trust in Parliament because they have not demonstrated to me that they can insulate themselves from partisan political considerations when they are dealing with national issues. I do not think that the drug issue will change the situation. I have said it will be a useless waste of time to call Parliament; I expect intelligence agencies to probe the case,” he said.
His comments follow the Minority’s call for a parliamentary investigation after French customs seized nearly 3.9 tonnes of cocaine at the port of Dunkirk from a container shipped from Ghana.
The Speaker of Parliament has since recalled MPs from recess to sit on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, over the matter.
Also speaking on the programme, Dr John Osae-Kwapong, a fellow at the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), expressed doubt that the parliamentary inquiry would produce meaningful results.
“I share the concern that issues come up, and quote unquote nothing comes up; institutions like our Parliament talk a lot about it, and nothing seems to come out of it, and therefore when you hear that Parliament wants to take a look at another institution, your natural response will be that nothing different will come out of it,” he said.
