The Center for Public Opinion and Awareness wants the government to remove fees for applying to join Ghana's security forces. This is according to a statement released by the group.
CenPOA says this has been a practice for too long. Many people want to join services such as the Ghana Police Service and others.
The organization believes these fees create a barrier for many qualified citizens who wish to serve their country. They argue that joining the security services should be based on merit and not financial ability.
The group hopes their call will lead to a policy change. This change would allow more Ghanaians to pursue careers in national security.
The statement did not mention specific amounts being charged or the total revenue generated from these fees.
