Member of Parliament (MP) for Keta and Deputy Ranking Member of Employment Committee in Parliament, Richard Quarshigah has threatened to take legal action against Ghana Immigration Service over the release of 84,000 forms.
According to him, the Immigration Service’s mode of application is fraudulent, and meant to exploit desperate unemployed people.
The practice of selling forms for vacancies in the various security services has been the practice in Ghana for many years.
Mr. Quashigah’s comment comes in the wake of news that the Ghana Immigration Service received about 84,000 applications at the end of its 2017/2018 application process.
The number, which is seen as an exponential increase from previous exercises, has been explained to be as a result of the worsening unemployment situation in the country.
It later emerged that the Service will only recruit 500 out of the total number of applicants to fill the limited available positions.
But speaking to Adom News, Mr. Quarshigah said he is ready to help persons whose applications to join the Ghana Immigration Service were rejected, over their Ghc50 initial payment.
