A lawmaker has accused the Ministry of Interior of making a large sum of money from people seeking jobs in the security services. Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, who serves on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, stated this position.
He claims the ministry collected over 100 million Ghana cedis in fees from applicants. These fees were reportedly part of the recruitment process for security agencies.
Mr. Fordjour’s accusation points to a potential financial exploitation of Ghanaian youth. The recruitment exercises often attract many hopeful applicants.
The Ministry of Interior has not yet responded to these specific allegations.
The exact number of applicants and the breakdown of fees collected remain unclear. The accused ministry is responsible for overseeing security agencies in Ghana.
This situation raises questions about the fairness and transparency of government recruitment processes.
Official statements regarding the recruitment fees are awaited to clarify the matter. Further details are expected as the issue develops.
