The call by security analysts for transparency and professionalism in the selection of personnel for the various security services in the country is apt and one to be treated with all seriousness. Of late, there has been hullabaloo about recruitment into the security services regarding the hijacking of the process by politicians. For instance, in May this year, the Minority in Parliament alleged that the government had adopted a scheme in which each (NPP) parliamen­tary candidate had been offered 30 slots for enlistment into the various security services in the country. Even though public agencies or organisations like the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) play roles that contribute to the social stability and security of the country, the mention of security services readily comes to mind for the ordinary Ghanaian, including the (GPS), the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), and the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS). The rest are the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Ghana Prisons Service (GPS), Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), and Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
