The safety and security of KIA is one of the best in the world – Transport Minister

Transport Minister Kwaku Ofori Asiamah has confirmed collaboration with international partners to combat cocaine smuggling at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Speaking to Parliament's Assurance Committee, he assured that KIA’s safety and security are among the best globally.
