The Center for Public Opinion and Awareness (CenPOA) is calling on the government to end the practice of charging money to apply for jobs in Ghana's security services. This includes agencies like the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Immigration Service.
CenPOA stated in a press release that charging these fees prevents many qualified young Ghanaians from applying to serve the nation. The group believes this requirement is unfair.
They argue that the government should remove these payments to ensure equal opportunity for all citizens who wish to join the security forces.
The call aims to make the recruitment process more accessible and open to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
Further details on the government's response or consultation with security agencies were not immediately available.
