The Minority in Ghana's Parliament is calling for the return of GH¢113 million. This money was collected from people who applied to join the security services.
An opposition Member of Parliament spoke to reporters on Thursday, March 12, 2026. He accused the government of taking advantage of unemployed young people. The fees were for a recruitment exercise that has now taken place.
The Member of Parliament stated that many applicants did not qualify. He believes these applicants should get their money back. The total amount demanded for refunds is GH¢113 million.
The recruitment process involved collecting fees from those seeking to join the police, army, or other security agencies. Details on how the fees were collected were not fully disclosed.
The opposition group stated this practice is unfair to those looking for jobs. They want their money back because the applicants did not get the jobs.
This action by the Minority highlights concerns about government handling of recruitment processes. Further details are expected as the situation develops.
