The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons announced that transferring ownership of a licensed gun is unlawful without police authorisation.

Mr Gyebi Asante, the Deputy Director of Policy, Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation (PPME) at the Commission, stated that licensed gun owners must legally inform the police to lawfully complete a transfer. He made these remarks while speaking with Kwabena Agyapong on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM’s “Frontline.”

He explained that individuals with licensed guns who no longer want them can surrender them or, if they wish to transfer ownership, must get legal authorisation first. He advised the Ghanaian public to be aware of the law and act accordingly.

“It is unlawful for any person to transfer gun ownership without authorisation,” he stated. “The law requires an individual to officially inform the police to start the transfer process. You will be held liable if you transfer a gun without police notification.”

He emphasised, “If you have a licensed gun and no longer want it, you can inform the police that you want to transfer or sell it. The police will then determine if the new person qualifies to use the gun. Even if the person is your son, you must inform the police so they can evaluate him to determine if he qualifies to use a gun.”

Asante also announced that the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons, in partnership with the Ministry of the Interior, plans to introduce a three-month amnesty. This initiative will allow individuals to surrender illegal or unlicensed firearms without facing prosecution.

He clarified that there will be no cash incentives for turning in weapons and that the government will prosecute people who do not surrender their firearms after the amnesty period.
