A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communications team, Emmanuel Senyo Amekplenu, has petitioned the Ministry of the Interior seeking full disclosure on the engagement of Trybnet Management Consult to oversee recruitment for agencies under the ministry.
In a formal letter, he cited Article 21(1)(f) of the 1992 Constitution and Sections 1 and 18 of the Right to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989), invoking his constitutional right to access public information.
The request focuses on the procurement and contractual processes that led to the appointment of Trybnet Management Consult, which a public notice indicates is managing the 2025/2026 recruitment exercise via the C-SERP platform.
Mr. Amekplenu is asking the ministry to clarify the procurement method used in selecting the firm — whether through competitive tender, restricted tender, or single-source procurement. He has also requested copies of approvals granted under the Public Procurement Act, 2003 (Act 663), as amended, including any clearance from the Public Procurement Authority where applicable.
The petition further seeks access to tender-related documents, including any published tender notice, bidding materials, evaluation reports, and minutes from Entity Tender Committee meetings. He is also requesting the names of other bidders, if any, and the justification for the final selection.
A key aspect of the application is a demand for full disclosure of the contractual terms between the ministry — or its agencies — and Trybnet Management Consult. Specifically, he has requested a copy of the signed agreement, details of the contract sum or financial consideration, payment arrangements, and any revenue-sharing structure tied to the sale of recruitment vouchers. He also wants information on the contract’s duration and scope of services.
Particular concern has been raised over reports that applicants are paying GH¢220 per recruitment voucher. Mr. Amekplenu is seeking clarification on the projected total revenue from voucher sales, the portion payable to the company per voucher, and whether any performance guarantees, bonds, or securities were secured under the agreement.
In addition, the application calls for disclosure of any due diligence conducted on the company prior to its appointment, as well as details of audit and monitoring systems established to ensure transparency in the recruitment process.
He has requested that the information be provided electronically where possible and reminded the ministry that Section 23 of Act 989 requires a response within fourteen working days.
Should any part of the request be denied, he has asked for a written explanation specifying the exemptions relied upon under the law.
In closing, Mr. Amekplenu urged the ministry to treat the matter with urgency, citing what he described as its significant public interest implications.
