‘Cocaine economy’ label could undermine Ghana’s reputation – Kutin cautions Minority

Security Analyst Emmanuel Kutin has cautioned the Minority in Parliament against describing Ghana as a “cocaine economy”, warning that such characterisations could damage the country’s international reputation and expose Ghanaians to increased scrutiny when travelling abroad.He said although the country must confront the growing cocaine menace, political leaders should be mindful of the consequences of portraying the entire economy as being driven by proceeds from the illegal drug trade.
