Special Aide Blasts Youth Drug Menace
Special Assistant to Ho Central Member of Parliament Hon. Richmond Edem Kofi Kpotosu, Bruno Foli, has issued a trenchant condemnation of narcotic proliferation among Ghanaian youth following revelations that six thousand applicants were invalidated during medical screening for the ongoing Security Services enlistment. Appearing on Ewenyigba TV’s Morning Show with Tony Mark-Boye on Monday 25th May 2026, Foli described the statistic disclosed by Interior Minister Muntaka Mubarak as symptomatic of a corrosive subculture undermining national resilience. According to Ewenyigba TV, the parliamentary aide characterised the disqualifications as a damning indictment of societal complacency toward psychotropic indulgence.
To illustrate the depravity engendered by substance dependence, Foli recounted a harrowing episode in Ho where stupefied adolescents purportedly transported a casket onto a football pitch and orchestrated a macabre match using the decedent as plaything. The deceased, a registered beneficiary of the free tilers’ apprenticeship scheme championed by Hon. Richmond Edem Kofi Kpotosu, had his identity withheld out of deference. Korkor, a resident familiar with the apprenticeship cohort, privately corroborated the account and expressed profound dismay at the desecration. According to Ewenyigba TV, Foli argued that such nihilistic theatrics reveal how narcotic intoxication eviscerates communal reverence and ancestral propriety.
“The rate at which youth are seen sleeping on the feet in our streets and ghettos are alarming,” Foli averred, decrying the visible torpor paralysing urban corridors. He vehemently dismissed destitution as justification for chemical escapism, maintaining that civic responsibility cannot be abdicated to economic circumstance. “Unemployment is not an excuse,” he emphasised, urging a renaissance of discipline, mentorship, and punitive deterrence. According to Ewenyigba TV, his pronouncement has catalysed deliberations among legislators, traditional custodians, and civil society regarding holistic interdiction strategies.
The intersection of mass recruitment attrition and quotidian narcotic visibility portends grave implications for human capital security and institutional integrity. With thousands barred from serving due to physiological compromise, the Republic confronts a paradox of youthful abundance juxtaposed with functional scarcity. Hon. Richmond Edem Kofi Kpotosu’s vocational intervention demonstrates that remedial pathways exist, yet Foli contends that without attitudinal recalibration, such initiatives will be perpetually undermined by hedonistic recidivism.
Policy architects are now implored to synthesise enforcement, rehabilitation, pedagogical reform, and economic integration into a coherent doctrine to arrest the contagion. The discourse must transcend ephemeral moralisation and evolve into enforceable architecture that restores dignity, productivity, and intergenerational covenant across the polity.
