The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has assured applicants of a fair, transparent, and merit-based recruitment process during a visit to the Ghana Prisons Service Training School screening centre in Accra.
The Minister inspected the facility as part of the Ministry’s supervisory mandate, observing the ongoing screening exercise and interacting with applicants and officials overseeing the process.
He stressed that the recruitment is being conducted strictly in line with laid-down procedures and cautioned applicants against any attempts to bypass the approved processes.
Addressing applicants, Mr. Mohammed-Mubarak warned against deception and the activities of fraudulent middlemen who extort money with false promises of recruitment, noting that anyone involved in such acts would be arrested and prosecuted.
He explained that a centralised payment system has been introduced to allow applicants to track their payments and receipts, thereby reducing the risk of fraud.
To further protect the integrity of the exercise, the Minister revealed that strong monitoring mechanisms have been put in place, with oversight from the Criminal Investigations Department, the Police Intelligence Directorate, the National Signals Bureau, and other security agencies.
The Interior Minister commended the commander and officers in charge of the screening centre for the smooth organisation of the exercise and praised the discipline of the applicants, urging security agencies to adopt best practices in recruitment and personnel management.
