The collaborative efforts of all stakeholders, scrutiny from international partners and the building of political will to tackle ‘sacred cows’ are necessary to win the ongoing war on drug use and drug trafficking, Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan said yesterday.
“It will take the efforts of not only law enforcement and ministers but also… activists, journalists, academics, writers, even screenwriters to portray to the public the harsh reality of the drug scourge,” he said, minutes before officially unveiling of the 2016-2020 National Drug Strategy Master Plan (NDSMP).
This plan was developed in response to recent national and international dynamics of the drug problem; it is a modification of the 2014-2018 NDSMP and complements the 2005-2009 plan.
