Mohammed-Mubarak noted that strict measures have been put in place to clamp down on corrupt practices within the recruitment process, adding that any staff found engaging in misconduct would face severe sanctions. He urged applicants to follow the laid-down procedures and rely only on official communication from the Ghana Prison Service.
The Minister further encouraged young Ghanaians interested in serving the nation through the Prison Service to prepare adequately for the next stages of the recruitment process. He advised applicants to ensure they have all required documents, including academic certificates, birth certificates or passports, and any other credentials specified by the Service.
He reaffirmed the government’s dedication to building a professional, disciplined, and credible Ghana Prison Service through a recruitment process that is open, fair, and free from corruption.
