Deputy Director of the National Commission on small arms, Gyebi Asante, has said that the porous nature of Ghana’s borders is contributing to the proliferation f illegal arms in the country.
Mr. Asante stated that conflicts in neighbouring countries are resulting in weapons being pushed to the country through weak borders.
Speaking on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 Thursday, July 27, he said also noted that there are conflict entrepreneurs lurking around who are sponsoring the illegal arms.
“You see the kind of weapons our youth are using, you wonder where these weapons are coming from. You realize that, especially in the North where we have some of these conflicts, they are close to the borders. and looking at how porous our borders are.
“that is how some of these sophisticated weapons manage to get into the country,” he said.
He added “What we realized is that these weapons are not weapons that these young guys buy themselves. we realized that with some of the conflict it looks like we have some conflict entrepreneurs, we have some people who are in this conflict because of some interest that they have.”
