And how about their superior commanders who assigned them to this duty? The young officers (mostly Captains by rank) were just working within the unreasonable and harsh conditions. Could they have asked for ambulances or mobile clinics to be stationed at the center? No, because they were not part of the logistical team. Don’t scapegoat the lower rank officers. Ghanaians are watching closely.

Defence Ministry Suspends Officers Over Military Recruitment Stampede!
Hope is not the solution, but blaming the innocents serves as an escape goat. If the enrollment into the army is a nationwide program, then the exercises should be regional and @ the regional capital city, with dates for each region as well as prove the applicants are living in the region

If the army needs people to enroll in their service or military, then it is the military that has to go to the people in the regions, "not the people running to the military."
By doing this, it will save citizens from unnecessary accidents such as car, road, river, or bush accidents...

When you shamelessly replace seasoned, highly trained and highly experienced officers with poorly trained and tribalistically-unqualified officers, who have not yet reached the level of professionalism required for the higher positions bestowed on them by an incompetent, tribalistic leader, what do you expect, Brogya Gyamfi? We all know what caused the disaster, so there is no need for any investigation. You should resign in shame immediately.

The online information will show that there will be a massive crowd therefore th3 military should have known what to expect and therefore to make adequate preparations if possible recruitment should go in badges but they failed . They must face it including the lazy generals who should have advised better.

This thing happens if not all but most of our institutions ie Education (WAEC),Embassies (USA),Transport yards (VIP) (STC) & so on.

The hon Minister should come clear?step aside means what? Interdiction or what? He should not focus solely on the officers on the grounds on the d Day. The whole recruitment planning team including top senior officers must be part of this interdiction.
I say this because, the team had knowledge of the potential numbers that were likely to be present on that faithful day. What contingency measures did they put in place to prevent or reduce this risk. The military is a discipline institution and we Ghanaians can't allow them to do things anyhow. Severe sanctions including dismissals if appropriate should apply.

Are you people aware that over 70% of the people you saw were not supposed to be there. Even among the injured were those who were not even potential recruits. Family members who came along with the potential recruits. How could the military envisage such an outcome. Meanwhile u people have forgotten that sixteen regions were involved, so why only Accra??

Why cant they just set a standardized test like the USA and when you pass then you go to military?
This should be done from high school through Universities if you pass you pass nothing else.

Some years ago a minister of education resigned over the drowning of school children which occurred when the children including their teachers embarked on excursion on one of the islands in South Korea. Less than 24 hours the news broke, the education minister resigned to the surprise of many in that country. He resigned not because he organised the excursion but because he was the education minister. The boat on which they were travelling with capsized and number of the school children died and that led to his resignation. In Africa and in Ghana, no politician will ever resign in matters like this. No politician lost a loved one in the stampede so the youth must stop following our politicians.

What further investigations are needed? Who exactly assigned these officers to oversee the recruitment process?
If they are to step aside, then the CDS and even the entire Ministry of Defence should be reviewed, because clearly, things aren’t running at maximum efficiency.

They should compare their current recruitment exercise with that under Oppong Peprah. The difference is vast and telling.

It’s unfortunate, but the GAF seems to be losing its most competent officers.

What went wrong in my view is that, no proper thought and planning went into the whole process. It was a business as usual attitude and mindset. The entire nation must wake to the idea of resetting the system. Government must ensure core competent people are in charge of various institution so they can efficiently and effectively appraise the system and carry out a thorough system reset for the good of the nation.
