The Center for Public Opinion and Awareness has asked the government to end the practice of requiring application fees for recruitment into Ghana's security services. This call was made in a recent press release.
The group highlighted that people wanting to join agencies such as the Ghana Police Service and others have been charged fees to apply.
CenPOA stated this practice has been ongoing for years. They believe it prevents many qualified individuals from even trying to join these important services.
The organization is urging the government to remove these charges. They argue that recruitment into security agencies should be based on merit and suitability, not the ability to pay a fee.
This call aims to make the recruitment process more accessible to all qualified Ghanaians.
