Hon John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South constituency and Ranking member, Defence and Interior Committee, has condemned the security services recruitment exercise, calling it a "biggest recruitment scam" that has exploited over 500,000 Ghanaian youth. 

 

Addressing the Parliamentary Press, Mr Ntim Fordjour stated that the government's decision to increase the recruitment age limit from 25 to 35 years was misleading and exploitative, trapping more unemployed youth into applying.

He questioned the fairness of the process, given that only 5,000 slots were available for recruitment.
