The Minority in Parliament has petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate the ongoing secret, unequal and unfair recruitments by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia NPP government into the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Ghana Police Service (GPS), Ghana Prisons Service and the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC).
The petition follows reports of a planned recruitment of 11,000 personnel from a backlog of applicants over the years.
Addressing this at a press conference earlier this month, the Interior Minister Henry Quarye said that there is no new recruitment into the security agencies.
“So our position is to say clearly that we have not started recruitment. I have heard a lot of things out there but for the record, the Ministry of the Interior does not do recruitment, we are policy drivers."
Despite the assurance by the Interior Minister, the NDC Minority has petitioned CHRAJ to probe the alleged secret recruitment.
According to them, they remain resolute and vigilant and will employ every legitimate means to stop this secret, illegal, and unfair recruitment
