ABAN BRIEF - Reforming Ghana's Security Services Recruitment: A Call for Dignity, Safety, and Transparency
A timely policy brief examining critical challenges within Ghana’s 2025/2026 security services recruitment process. Drawing on evidence and lived experiences, the brief highlights systemic issues, including high application costs, lack of transparency, and the tragic consequences of poor crowd management.
It calls for urgent reforms, including the abolition of recruitment fees, publication of investigation findings into the El-Wak Stadium incident, and the full digitisation and oversight of recruitment systems.
This brief underscores the need to ensure that the aspiration to serve the nation is guided by merit, fairness, and dignity, rather than by financial barriers or systemic opacity.
