Ghana has been 'cocalised'

Last year we reported that global drug cartels were setting up shop in the troubled countries of lawless West Africa, including the nation of Ghana. According to Ghana's Parliamentary Minority Leader, the majority party NPP, including President Kufuor, is totally in bed with the new West African coca mob.

The Minority Leader in Parliament, Mr Alban S. K. Bagbin, has accused the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of direct involvement in drug trafficking.

Speaking at the launch of National Democratic Congress constituency campaign at Ho, the Member of Parliament for Nadowli West described the incidence of drug in Ghana as "too much", creating insecurity and tarnishing the image of the country.

"We have allowed ourselves to be 'cocalised'. The cocaine now is too much in the system, any country where cocaine, heroin and wee, become the centre piece of their trade or income, it raises a number of issues. The first issue is that the security has broken down; the second issue is that the political leadership is part of the trade."

See that folks, we have a new term for what happens to a country when it officially becomes a narco-state: cocalisation.
