President Akufo-Addo and members of the Committee on Small Arms
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has mandated the National Small Arms Commission to focus not only on weapons entering the country through its borders, but also on the proliferation of locally manufactured weapons.
Addressing the members of the Jubilee House Committee when they paid her a courtesy visit, Nana Akufo-Addo warned the body to pay enough attention to the national manufacturers of 39, light weapons.
He said: "We do not seem to be paying attention to the small arms management aspect. In the midst of weapons manufacturing, there is a tendency to say that the entire proliferation of weapons in our country is being smuggled or imported from our borders, but that our own manufacturing facilities may not be sophisticated, but that They exist … "
"We do not seem focused enough on the way forward to control the proliferation, existence and manner in which we manufacture locally made weapons."
"This must be part of your mandate and, as part of your mandate, you can advertise and pay a lot of attention to our company so that we can control those who are engaged in this particular industry."
