Four security analysts have called for transparency and professionalism in the selection of personnel for various security services, following the announcement of an upcoming enlistment. They urged the management of security agencies to guard against political influence, ensuring that only qualified persons are recruited to enforce law and order and discharge other mandates.

Additionally, they called for the publication of additional information throughout the recruitment process, just as the initial notices have been published in the newspapers, to dispel suspicions in the selection process.

The analysts are Professor Vladimir Antwi Danso, the Dean of the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College; Dr Festus Aubyn, Adam Bona, and Richard Kumadoe. They spoke to the Ghanaian Times in separate telephone interviews on the announcement of recruitment into the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and the Ghana Prisons Service, which was published in the Ghanaian Times yesterday. This publication, which is for persons who applied in 2021, comes weeks after the Minority in Parliament petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate alleged ongoing secret recruitment into various security agencies. The allegations were triggered by reports of planned recruitment of 11,000 personnel from a backlog of applicants over the years.
