When he visited the screening center at the Ghana Prisons Service Training School in Accra, Sector Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak told applicants that the recruitment process would be fair, open, and based on merit.
As part of the Ministry’s supervisory responsibilities, the Minister inspected the facility, observed the ongoing screening exercise, and engaged with both applicants and officials managing the process.
He stressed that the recruitment exercise adhered strictly to established procedures and encouraged applicants to follow the proper and approved channels without attempting to circumvent them.
In his address to the applicants, the Minister warned them against deception and fraudulent intermediaries who promised false assistance in exchange for money. He cautioned that those found participating in such activities would face arrest and prosecution. Additionally, he explained that a centralized and systematic payment system had been implemented, allowing applicants to monitor their payments and receipts, thereby minimizing the risk of fraud.
To maintain the integrity of the process, Hon. Muntaka revealed that monitoring mechanisms had been established to deter the use of fraudulent methods. These measures include oversight from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID), the National Signals Bureau, and other pertinent security agencies.
The Minister praised the Commander and the officers responsible for the screening center for their effective planning and the smooth execution of the exercise. He also commended the discipline and behavior of the applicants and encouraged all security agencies under the Ministry to share knowledge and adopt best practices in recruitment and personnel management.
