No vacancy notice for National Service postings due to limited capacity – Parliament clarifies reposting directive

Parliament has clarified that a notice directing prospective National Service personnel to seek reposting was issued because of limited capacity to accommodate all applicants, rather than a decision to freeze national service placements.

The clarification follows public commentary on social media regarding a notice displayed on Parliament’s notice board which read: “No Vacancy for National Service Personnel 2026/2027.” In a statement signed by the Director of Media Relations, David Sebastian Damoah, Parliament said the notice had been misconstrued as a policy statement or an indication that it had suspended its participation in the National Service Scheme.
