This recruitment could have been done online. Ghana army can create a website for this and state the requirements for people who are interested to apply like Visa Lottery. And after the selection they can invite the people in groups with appointment letters for screening. Trust me a lot of people will be dropped and some will by all means be selected. Very sad. People just died because they are looking for a job.

My condolences to the family. This recruitment was a public show. They have done the selection behind the scenes. When can we be fair to ourselves? Because of corruption they couldn't do this on line. We must not reject technology. Ghanaians children are smart. Lets reject all the archaic laws in the books and embrace the new. Ghana is going backward. The government should pay the relatives of the victims. Ghana must wake up for a change.

John Mahama feels emboldened by such silly deaths. Yes, it started with the helicopter crash which sent Omane Boama, Murtala Mohammed etc to their untimely death and now this. Anytime such stupid deaths occur under Mahama, his spirits soar meaning, he loves it.

The sad part is that none of the applicants will get the posts as it will be to whom you know basis. The whole drama was just a formality. So sad.
