Minister-Designate for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has pledged to address fairness in the recruitment processes of Ghana’s security services by reviewing the regional quota system.
During his vetting before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on January 24, Muntaka emphasized the importance of inclusivity and equity in recruitment practices, highlighting concerns over the marginalization of minority groups.
He assured that under his leadership, recruitment processes would be transparent and balanced to reflect the nation’s diversity.
The nominee assured the Committee of his commitment to working closely with the heads of the security services to review and improve the recruitment process in the best interest of Ghana.
“I’m going to a ministry that has a lot of professionals that are experts in their fields, you can’t doubt the expertise of the Inspector General of Police, neither will you doubt the Director General of Ghana Prisons and the likes.
“And I’m going to be a team member that would be working with them. Together with them we have to review. Over the last 30 years or 40 years, since we started this 4th Republic, how have we done it? Has it served the purpose? If there are lapses, we will look at it and review it in the best interest of the country.
