Aggrieved applicants to demonstrate against Police

A number of disappointed applicants for the ongoing recruitment exercise by the Ghana Police Service (GPS) in the Ashanti Region have threatened to demonstrate against the GPS for what they call “unfair ” criteria for the selection of recruits into the Police Training School. They also threatened to go to court with evidence of malpractices that characterised the recruitment exercise. They critcised the GPS for conducting double medical screening and also for what they described as poor selection of applicants through a written examination. A spokesperson for the aggrieved applicants who pleaded anonymity in an interview with the Daily Graphic, alleged that in 2012 the GPS enlisted applicants presented by Members of Parliament, Ministers, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), Traditional Rulers, among others. He further alleged that this year, the applicants were made to go through medical screening and other related exercises and were waiting to be called for training only to hear that some of their colleague applicants had been invited for a written examination while others were not invited.
