Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Majority in Parliament has strongly rejected the NDC\u2019s allegations of NPP Parliamentary candidates being allocated thirty (30) slots each to recruit party supporters into the country\u2019s security services.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Majority therefore described the allegation as being mathematically and administratively ludicrous, stressing that there is no way the security service can recruit over 8,000 applicants as it traditionally recruits between 1,000 and 1,200 applicants.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minority Leader, alleged during a news conference in Parliament on May 20, that all NPP Parliamentary candidates have been allocated 30 slots each to select NPP loyalists to fill positions within the security services, including the Police and Army.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NDC Minority can authoritatively state that not long ago, the NPP government again illegally and fraudulently has given out 30 slots to all NPP parliamentary candidates across the country for recruitment into the security services,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n

NPP parliamentary candidates given 30 slots each for recruitment into security services \u2013 Ato Forson alleges<\/p>\n

However, the NPP Majority has rejected the allegations, urging their colleagues to refrain from spreading \u201cmisinformation and to respect the intelligence of Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing a press conference in response to allegations, Deputy Majority Leader Patricia Appiagyei said, \u201cNo parliamentary candidate or Member of Parliament has been allocated any recruitment slots into any of our security services.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minority\u2019s assertion that 276 NPP parliamentary candidates, including 138 sitting MPs, have each been given 30 recruitment slots is mathematically and administratively ludicrous.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo suggest that 8,250 new recruits could be absorbed into our security forces, in a system that traditionally accommodates between 1,000 to 1,200 recruits annually, shows a profound misunderstanding of the operational and financial frameworks of our security institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe claims by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson are a deliberate distortion of reality and a malicious fabrication aimed at undermining the integrity of the government. Such allegations serve only to provoke unwarranted tension and foster an environment of mistrust and political rivalry that our country does not need.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the Minority to refrain from spreading misinformation and to respect the intelligence of the Ghanaian public. Such tactics are beneath the dignity of our democratic processes and could potentially endanger the peace and security of our nation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
