Minister of Interior Not Responsible for Security Recruitment

Richard Kumadoe has clarified who makes decisions about hiring for Ghana's security forces. He stated that the Minister of Interior does not have this power.

Kumadoe explained the structure of Ghana's security sector. He said that current rules place recruitment authority with the leaders of each agency.

This includes the Ghana Police Service. It also applies to the Ghana Immigration Service. Other agencies like the Ghana National Fire Service and Ghana Prisons Service also follow this system.

These agency leaders are the ones who decide on recruitment. This process ensures that each service manages its own staffing needs.

Kumadoe's statement aims to correct misunderstandings about government oversight in security sector employment.
