Member of Parliament for Techiman South, Hon. Adjei Mensah has admitted that with the luxury and money involved in the drug business, anybody can easily be lured into this kind of business if care is not taken.
According to him, the drug trade is devilish work which comes with huge indelible disgrace to the extent that families and friends are affected by the shame as well.
Speaking on Oman Fm’s Morning Show, the NDC MP noted out that most of the armed robbery cases which involve killing are as a result of the use of drugs, stressing that no person with a sane mind pull a gun with the intention of killing to kill in order to steal money.
He also joined the chorus that the fight against drug trade in the country should take on a nationalistic approach devoid of political colors as such behavior by politicians will cloud the collective effort.
He held the conviction that those who are still in the drug trade are naïve of the health implications of carrying drugs on them except the money and the luxurious lifestyle they envisaged after a successful attempt.
The NDC MP expressed surprise at how a pretty lady could get involved in trafficking illicit drugs, wondering the shame it has brought on her family with her naked pictures even going viral on social media for public ridicule.
“I want to emphasize that the drug business is so enticing that no matter who you are, if you don’t take care you will get involved; it is a devilish enterprise and it comes with huge embarrassment….just look at how pretty she is and what her involvement in the drug business has caused her; to the extent that her naked pictures are all over social media.”
“What I will say is that until you find yourself in a bad situation, you cannot know your true friends. If it was not close friends (who released the footages), how could those pictures have been publicized? What will profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? This business will bring you wealth but it can leave you with a permanent scar of ignominy,” he stated.
