Former Interior Minister Henry Quartey admitted that recruitment spots within Ghana’s security forces are sometimes sold to interested applicants, despite formal procedures designed to assure impartiality.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Quartey revealed that, while there are official procedures for security recruitment, persons who are assigned slots frequently sell them.
He noted, “It is often difficult to identify exactly who is responsible for selling such slots,” highlighting the challenges in monitoring the process.
During his tenure, Quartey related an instance in which he gave an Imam in his Ayawaso Central constituency a recruitment spot. He stated that the goal was to help a qualified Muslim youth in the neighborhood.
“I gave the slot to the Imam so that a qualified Muslim youth could benefit from it, but later I realized the slot had been sold,” he revealed.
