The Minority in Parliament has called for a suspension of the ongoing security service recruitment exercise to ensure challenges associated with the process are addressed.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, emphasised that attempts by over 500,000 youth to be recruited into the security service pose a security threat to Ghana\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan the recruitment process be suspended so that these concerns are properly ironed out? The system that has been introduced, for want of a better word, is duping the youth. The youth are being duped. It is like a scam.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you introduce a so-called AI platform where you want to go to Immigration and it asks you what the size of a basketball court is?\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
He also cautioned the government against any fuel increases as a result of tensions in the Middle East, following assurances of adequate fuel buffers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf indeed we have sufficient buffers, we don\u2019t expect any increase in fuel prices. Government must subsidise because in Akufo-Addo\u2019s era you said Ukraine Russia war should not have any effect on Ghana,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
