Official ministry guidelines released Thursday emphasize transparency in recruitment processes to ensure equal opportunity for qualified citizens.

The minister’s formal briefing to the committee aligned with President John Mahama’s 2024 military reform agenda. Parliamentary records confirm bipartisan support for standardized recruitment under the National Defence Policy Framework. Dr. Boamah underscored the need for modern equipment to address emerging security threats in volatile regions, citing approved budgetary allocations for 2025–2026.

According to Ghana Armed Forces Regulations 2020, all enlistment requires digital verification of credentials and physical aptitude testing. The Defence Ministry will publish recruitment timelines next month via the Ghana Gazette and accredited media channels.

Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang will inspect recruitment centers in Tamale and Sekondi next week as part of the National Democratic Congress government’s oversight initiative.
