NPP parliamentary candidates given 30 slots each to recruit into security agencies - Ato Forson alleges

The Minority has raised concerns about what they say is clandestine and illegal recruitment into the security services by some members of the government.

Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minority Leader, alleged during a news conference that all parliamentary candidates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been allocated 30 slots each to select party loyalists and supporters to fill positions within the security services, including the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Army.

Dr. Forson urged President Akufo-Addo and the government to halt what he described as undemocratic behavior.

He emphasized the need for transparency and fairness in recruitment processes within the security sector.

The Minority Leader stated that the Minority in Parliament will remain vigilant and oppose any attempts to manipulate the upcoming elections.

"Notwithstanding the fact that the Minority raised serious concerns about the criteria adopted by the NPP government to recruit personnel into the security services, it has persisted in taking additional steps in the last few days that we have seen.

"The NDC Minority can authoritatively state that not long ago, the NPP government again illegally and fraudulently has given out 30 slots to all NPP parliamentary candidates across the country for recruitment into the security services," he alleged.

He reiterated the commitment of National Democratic Congress MPs to uphold the integrity of the electoral process and prevent any actions that could undermine democracy.
