Interior Ministry to introduce polygraph testing for personnel selected for sensitive security assignments

Mr Mohammed-Mubarak said suspected leaks of sensitive operational information are also compromising investigations and undermining the confidence of Ghana’s international security partners.

He said suspicions that people with access to sensitive information could be linked to trafficking networks risked undermining the confidence of international partners in the security of information shared with Ghana.

The Minister of the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has disclosed that there were plans to introduce polygraph testing for personnel selected for certain sensitive security assignments, alongside improvements in equipment, working conditions and supervision.
