A Ghanaian 1st year Electrical Engineering student in Latvia was murdered by his Latvian class mates just because he’s black. The Latvian Gov’t has shown no interest in getting to the bottom of it. This is an appeal to @S_OkudzetoAblak and @GhanaMFA to look into this.

Dear Armed Forces,
First, never use the word "unexpected" in your communique. This is an era defined by data and predictive analytics, and such a word, especially from an Intelligence Agency is a mark of gross incompetence. That word must never appear in your vocabulary again.
Now, to the matter of recruitment. You are a force of just about 16,000 personnel, many of whom are currently underutilized. Yet somehow, you managed to sell hundreds of thousands of application forms. How? And more importantly, why? This leads to my second point:
NO MONEY SHOULD EVER BE MADE DIRECTLY FROM A JOBSEEKER, worst of all, by a State agency. That is ethically indefensible.
What you’ve created appears less like a recruitment exercise and more like a commercial enterprise. If this is indeed a business, then you must be held accountable for it.
Let me not belabor the obvious but you must know that the sight of hundreds of thousands of citizens stranded on the streets, disrupting livelihoods on a Wednesday morning, without prior notice to residents, is a serious display of disregard. The Military must not be an instrument of intimidation. You are entrusted with the protection of this territory. That mandate must be upheld with dignity and discipline. No Ghanaian citizen should ever lose their life due to leadership failure, especially within the military.
Now, the solution.
Cancel this recruitment process entirely. Replace it with a rolling, fully online system governed by clear, transparent criteria. Applicants should be randomly assigned to “Military Candidate Assistants” who must never have physical contact with candidates until the official physical assessment stage. This current process is inefficient and disgraceful. End it immediately.
My sincere condolences to the families of the six.
Next post will address the government.
