The results of the medical examinations for the ongoing security services recruitment exercise will be officially released next week, the government has announced.
In a major policy shift, the government has also secured authorisation to double its initial recruitment intake following an unprecedented surge in qualified applicants.
Interior Minister Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak disclosed that over 105,000 applicants successfully advanced to the medical stage of the process.
This vastly exceeded the nation’s initial target of final enlistments.
In response to the high turnout, President Mahama and the Ministry of Finance intervened to expand the final recruitment quota.
Speaking on Saturday at a citizens’ engagement event in the Savannah region, the Interior Minister assured the public that the selection process would remain equitable.
“I can assure Ghanaians that next week, the results of the medicals that have been conducted will be released. And graciously, His Excellency intervened with the Minister of Finance to double the intake that we are going to take,” he said.
The Minister added that the government is collaborating closely with the Members of Parliament in the regions to ensure geographical fairness, promising that all candidates who pass the rigorous medical screening will receive fair consideration for final enlistment.
