The Member of Parliament for Komenda–Edina–Eguafo–Abrem (KEEA), Hon. Samuel Atta Mills, has called for transparency, discipline and fairness in the ongoing Ghana National Fire Service recruitment exercise, as he monitored the screening process at the Prisons Service Training School in Ankaful.

During the visit, Hon. Atta Mills engaged with applicants and officials, assuring candidates that the recruitment process is merit-based and transparent, and encouraged them to adhere strictly to the approved procedures.

He cautioned applicants against engaging the services of fraudulent middlemen who make false promises of guaranteed recruitment in exchange for money, stressing that such practices undermine fairness and exploit vulnerable job seekers.

The MP emphasised that integrity and patience are essential throughout the process and urged applicants to remain disciplined while trusting the system to deliver a credible outcome.

Hon. Atta Mills also commended officials at the screening centre for their professionalism and the orderly conduct of the exercise, noting that a well-managed recruitment process reflects the values of accountability and public service expected within Ghana’s security institutions.

As a gesture of support, packs of bottled water, drinks and a token were presented to the officials to assist them in carrying out their duties during the exercise.

Governance advocates have welcomed the MP’s intervention, noting that active oversight by elected representatives helps build public confidence, discourage corruption, and protect young people seeking opportunities in public service.

The visit underscores a broader call for fair access to employment, institutional transparency and ethical leadership, particularly at a time when public trust in recruitment processes remains critical.
