Vice-President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has stated that charging money for application forms for security services recruitment is not needed. He expressed that applicants should not be required to pay fees to apply for these positions.
Mr. Bentil voiced his concerns about the current practice in the ongoing recruitment drives. He believes the process for joining security agencies should be accessible without upfront financial barriers.
The rationale behind his statement is that public service roles, especially in security, should prioritize merit and opportunity over financial contribution from applicants seeking to serve the nation.
He did not specify which security agencies were charging for forms or how much the fees were. His comments were made in a public statement regarding recruitment processes.
