The Minister for the Interior, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, has conducted an on-site inspection of the documentation and body inspection phase of the ongoing Ghana Police Service recruitment exercise in the Greater Accra Region, as part of efforts to ensure transparency and integrity in the process.

During the visit, the Minister inspected key screening centres, including the Ghana Police Church and the National Police Training Academy.

He observed that the exercise was well organised, orderly, and efficiently conducted, with applicants processed in scheduled batches to reduce congestion and promote a smooth and transparent screening process.

The Minister commended officers and personnel overseeing the recruitment for their professionalism and dedication, while stressing the importance of strict adherence to approved procedures and protocols.

He cautioned against any form of misconduct, interference, or undue influence that could undermine the credibility of the exercise.

Addressing applicants, the Interior Minister reiterated that recruitment into the security services is entirely free and strictly merit-based.

He warned applicants not to pay money to individuals claiming to have influence over the recruitment process, noting that such claims are fraudulent.

He revealed that the Ministry and security agencies are closely monitoring the exercise, adding that arrests have already been made in connection with recruitment-related fraud.

According to him, surveillance and monitoring will continue to ensure fairness and credibility throughout the process.

The Minister reaffirmed the Ministry of the Interior’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and integrity in strengthening Ghana’s security institutions.

He further urged officers involved in the recruitment to maintain high standards of professionalism during the remaining stages, including physical fitness tests and medical examinations.

He also recommended that similar levels of oversight be sustained in future recruitment exercises to safeguard public confidence in the country’s security services.
