The Ghana Armed Forces has given Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong the greenlight to make all the noise he can muster as they are not going to give any protocol slots to him, and for that matter any politician.
The Ghana Armed Forces, through its Public Relations Officer (PRO) Colonel Aggrey Quashie, assured the general public that recruitment into the military will continue to be by merit.
“Enlistment of applicants into the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) is always based on merits not political influence or any other means, Public Relations Officer (PRO) GAF, Colonel Aggrey Quashie has said.
“People think that if I pay money to somebody I can get myself in there. If all your documentation is correct you stand an equal chance like any other person to be picked”. He said.
In an interview on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM, Colonel Aggrey Quashie stated that there is no room for anyone including politicians to push people into GAF.
“People make these statements because they have the right to say whatever they want to say but we are also focusing on our process. ..There is no way anybody will be recruited by unfair means”, the Colonel and PRO said.
Readers will recall a report in which controversial New Patriotic Party (NPP) lawmaker for Assin Central, Hon Kennedy Agyapong said he was keenly looking forward to getting special military protocol slots for “his people” otherwise “he will make noise”. “Enye saa meye dede”
Counting the number of jobs he got under the various government programs, Mr Kennedy Agyapong said he was eyeing the upcoming military recruitment for slots… “Enye saa meye dede”, he had said in Twi on Oman FM, directly translated: ‘otherwise I will make noise.’, as we rightfully reported at the time.
Recruits being assessed by GAF
The MP openly boasted about how successful he was in pushing for “his people” during the recent police recruitment exercise adding that he was highly hopeful of more success in the ongoing military recruitment exercise.
“Now I am looking for military (recruitment), it has not come yet, but it will come, otherwise I will make noise.” he had dared.

As for this, my admirer Mr. Agyapong you erred big time, why do you want to do this if it is true you said that. You are a big politician and that is the least I expect from you. Even if it happens that you politician always find ways to have your way when it is even recruitment, why do you say this on air. If this is true then I think you should end your political carrier after this parliament is dissolve for the next elections..
Two wrongs will not ever make a right. If NDC have been doing this corrupt practises in getting their elements and foot soldiers recruited, I expect this Kennedy Agyafool or whatever to be wise enough to know that NPP will not follow that. NPP will create a level playing field for all prospective applicants. Ghana Military will not accept that ***barred word***. Ghana Military is known for discipline but for the Police, I am afraid all die be die. Anything at all goes for the Police. The Political influence on the Police is just too much and its a shame they just don't care. Any Politicain can call the IGP and tell him to jump and he wouldn't even ask how high but will go out there and jump together with his team 50m high. Calamity!!!!!!
Ray and Nhyiraba, listen to yourselves. You guys are too petty. If people of your like are in power, Ghana will never progress. Have you guys ever paused to reflect on the number of Ghanaians who voted for Mahama in 2016? Over 4 million Ghanaians. Any you think Ghana is only for the NPP. The floating voters who were deceived into voting for NPP in 2016 are the same voters who will turn their back against NPP. You guys should take time and interact with a section of Ghanaians and you will get to know how frustrated and disappointed most of them are. You will realize the hardships people are going thru under NPP.
Does Ken think before he utters his words? I see him as someone with a very low IQ. He doesn't help npp's cause at all. Not one bit. He is simply ***barred word***.
