A civil society group called the Center for Public Opinion and Awareness has spoken out against fees charged to young people applying for jobs in Ghana's security services. CenPOA believes this practice puts an unfair financial strain on unemployed youth.
The group stated that these application fees are a barrier for many young Ghanaians seeking employment. They are asking the government to abolish these charges immediately.
CenPOA's statement highlighted the financial difficulties faced by many young people. They feel that asking for money to apply for a job is wrong.
The organization promotes citizen engagement and accountability in public services. This is part of their effort to ensure fairness in government recruitment processes.
The group did not specify the total amount of money collected from these fees. They are urging the government to review and remove this requirement.
