The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has assured that recruitment into Ghana’s security agencies under an NDC administration will be based strictly on merit.
He emphasised that political affiliation or influence will play no role in the recruitment process, adding that only qualified and competent individuals will be considered for service.
Speaking in the Akatsi North constituency as part of his thank-you tour on Thursday, October 16, 2025, Mr. Asiedu Nketia said the move is aimed at restoring professionalism and fairness within the country’s security institutions.
“We will make sure that our security services are properly balanced, even regionally. We are departing from a system where people are recruited based on their surnames to ensure that the services are truly representative and professional,” he said.
Mr. Asiedu Nketia further noted that the NDC is committed to building a transparent and credible security recruitment system that reflects Ghana’s diversity and strengthens national cohesion.
