The Minister of Interior, Henry Quartey, has announced that nearly 90,000 people have applied to join Ghana’s security services when the recruitment portals opened for applications.

The recruitment drive, launched by the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Prisons Service, and Ghana Immigration Service on August 7, 2024, attracted a large number of applicants, many of whom had initially shown interest in joining these services in 2021.

Sharing an update on the recruitment process, Mr. Quartey emphasized that the response received has been overwhelming.

“As of two days ago, there were close to 90,000 applications. That is the report I received from the security agencies handling the recruitment,” he said.

However, Mr. Quartey noted that the number of available positions is limited. Parliament has approved a budget that allows for the recruitment of approximately 12,000 new personnel across the security services.

He stressed that the agencies will need to rigorously apply their eligibility criteria to select the most qualified candidates from the large pool of applicants.

“All these 80,000 will be subject to the security agencies’ criteria to determine who qualifies for admission,” the Minister added, underscoring the competitive nature of the recruitment process.

“In fact, as at last two days, there were close to 90,000. That is the report that I had from the security agencies that was doing the recruitment,” he said in an interview.

“But bear in mind that Parliament has approved a budget so there is an intake that the agencies will have to do and I don’t think that it’s going to go beyond maybe 12,000 or so.

“So all this 80,000, it’s up to the security agencies to use their eligibility criteria to be able to select who qualifies to actually be admitted”.
