Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Defence, Brogya Genfi, has said that the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) is undergoing a massive expansion beginning this week.
GAF to recruit 12,000 personnel over the next 3yrs, cost of forms slashed by 40% – Brogya Genfi
Over the next 3 years, he said, GAF will recruit 12,000 personnel to reinforce our national defence capabilities.
Brogya Genfi stated that the cost of the recruitment forms has been reduced by over 40% compared to the last recruitment. This is in line with the President and Commander-in-Chief John Dramani Mahama commitment to affordability, accessibility and fairness, he said.
In addition to the huge cut in the cost of recruitment form, the recruitment will take place across all regions, ensuring equal opportunity and national inclusion, he added
“Let this be clear: Recruitment into the Ghana Armed Forces is NOT for sale—and will NEVER be for sale under our #EagleEyes watch. Any individual or syndicate involved in fraudulent recruitment schemes will be dealt with without mercy.
“Take Note that no recruitment will take place on social media. The process will be transparent and professional. All qualified applicants must be medically fit and be prepared to abandon all hope of normal life!
“All the application qualification, procedure and regional centers will be announced within the week through the Ministry of Defence Ghana website, Ghana Armed Forces website, selected newspapers and electronic platforms. We are building a force that reflects the strength, discipline, and unity of Ghana,” he said in a Facebook post.
