The government has announced that results from the medical examinations conducted for applicants in the ongoing security services recruitment exercise will be released next week.
Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, disclosed that more than 105,000 applicants advanced to the medical screening stage, far exceeding the initial target of recruiting 5,000 personnel.
Speaking during President John Dramani Mahama’s “Resetting Ghana” citizens’ engagement in the Savannah Region on Saturday, May 23, the Interior Minister said government was working closely with Members of Parliament in the region to ensure fairness and transparency throughout the recruitment process.
According to him, applicants who successfully pass the medical screening will be given fair consideration as government moves to increase the intake into the various security services.
“I can assure Ghanaians that next week, the results of the medicals that have been conducted will be released. And graciously, His Excellency intervened with the Minister of Finance to double the intake that we are going to take,” he said.
Mr Mubarak explained that the decision to expand recruitment followed discussions between President Mahama and the Ministry of Finance to create room for more qualified applicants.
The recruitment exercise forms part of government’s broader efforts to strengthen the country’s security services while also creating employment opportunities for the youth.
