Though Section 5 (1) of the Narcotic Drugs Control and Enforcement and Sanctions Law stipulates that: “No person shall without lawful authority or excuse smoke, sniff, consume, inject in his body or otherwise administer narcotic drug on his body”, Mr Boateng after picking up nomination forms told Joy News he will legalize the substance and give import licenses to wee exporters so that Ghana can export wee and earn more currency for its development.”

George Boateng, a 45-year old former Oyarifa Branch Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress has been in the news after he declared his intentions to contest President Mahama in the party’s November 7 primaries.
The aspirant has since been engaged in verbal articulations with some members of the party, especially Mr Asiedu Nketia, General Secretary of the party, who described him as having a mental disorder.
Majority leader of Parliament, Alban Bagbin has asked Mr. Boateng to “rethink” because he is not only “a comic relief” but a recipe for anarchy in Ghana.

NDC national executives have ruled out the possibility of allowing him contest President Mahama, arguing the forms he bought were draft copies.
Meanwhile, Mr Boateng has stated that he will pick new forms from the party’s headquarters on Monday.
