Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has alleged that all NPP members of parliament and parliamentary candidates have been offered the opportunity to recruit at least 30 NPP loyalists into the police and army ahead of the elections in December.
This according to the Minority is in bad faith and a dint on Ghana’s image as a democratic country. The Minority called for transparency and fairness in recruiting into the security agencies.
Cassiel Ato Forson who made the revelation in a press conference appealed to the President to stop the foul act. He said the NDC would not be a part of illegality and would do everything within its powers to resist such attempts.
“Notwithstanding the fact that the Minority raised serious concerns about the criteria adopted by the NPP government to recruit personnel into the security services, it has persisted in taking additional steps in the last few days that we have seen.”
Cassiel Ato Forson added that the illegal recruitment was done not long ago, alleging that each Parliamentary Candidate and Member of Parliament of the NPP received 30 slots.
“The NDC Minority can authoritatively state that not long ago, the NPP government again illegally and fraudulently has given out 30 slots to all NPP parliamentary candidates across the country for recruitment into the security services,” he said.
