John Mahama, the presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has strongly denied accusations that he intends to dismiss individuals currently undergoing training in the security services if he wins the 2024 elections. These claims, which Mahama attributes to his political opponents, have been circulating in several training depots, with rumors suggesting that he would review and potentially terminate the recent recruitments. In response, Mahama assured the recruits that their jobs would be safe under his leadership and called on them to support his "resetting agenda," which aims to improve their conditions and enhance the nation's future. He emphasized that the notion of mass sackings was nothing more than political propaganda and had no basis in reality.
Mahama made these clarifications during his tour of the Western Region, where he and his team were warmly welcomed, particularly in Shama, an area where many individuals have been recruited into the security services. Acknowledging the importance of the security service recruitment to the locals, Mahama reassured the recruits that there would be no job insecurity under his administration. He stressed that, unlike the incumbent government, which had dismissed some recruits before leaving office, his administration would prioritize job security and job creation. Mahama’s promise also extended to increasing the labor force by recruiting additional personnel to meet the country’s security needs.
During his speech, Mahama also addressed the broader issue of economic hardship affecting the police, military, and other security agencies. He acknowledged that these sectors were facing significant challenges but urged the recruits to disregard any political rumors that might cloud their judgment. According to Mahama, these false claims were being used to incite fear and division among security personnel. He reminded them that his government would focus on securing jobs for those already recruited and on creating new opportunities within the security sector to strengthen the nation’s workforce. Mahama’s message to the security recruits was clear: their jobs would be protected, and their livelihoods would improve under his leadership.
