Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has proposed that applicants disqualified during the recent Ghana security services recruitment exercise be refunded the fees they paid.
His remarks come after the release of the aptitude test results, which saw a large number of applicants fail to qualify for the next stage.
“There should be a system in place to refund those who did not make it through the process,” he said, emphasising fairness to applicants who complied with the requirements but were unable to secure a position.
The Minority Leader highlighted the significant gap between the number of applicants and available positions. He cited a statement by the sector minister indicating that out of approximately 500,000 applicants, only around 500 individuals are expected to be recruited.
Introducing a refund mechanism, Mr Afenyo-Markin argued, would ensure fairness and accountability in the recruitment process, acknowledging the financial contributions of thousands of hopeful candidates.
