The Deputy Defense Minister Mr. Kofi Amankwaa Manu has said that there is no way Security recruitment forms in Ghana can be made free like some Ghanaians are championing it to be.
Prior to the 2016 election, the National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Sammi Awuku assured Ghanaians that Security recruitment forms will be made free if the party wins power.
Hon. Amankwaa who was speaking in an interview on Kumasi-based Akoma FM hosted by Aduanaba Kofi Asante stated that Mr. Awuku’s assurance was just a political promise.
He mentioned that when the Security agencies advertise their recruitment forms, they do not force people to buy it yet people buy it in their own interest so it is not free.
”Sammi Awuku just expressed his opinion and it can never be the reality. So far as some people didn’t get the opportunity to be recruited after buying the forms doesn’t mean they have been cheated”, he stated.
”If Sammi Awuku talked about reducing the cost of Security forms, that one is debatable but to give the forms out free can never be possible because security agencies spend a huge amount of money to print forms”, he added.
