Member of Parliament for Wa West, Peter Lanchene Toobu, has said in relation to the number of youth seeking recruitment into the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) that youth unemployment is threat to national security.
Thousands of Ghanaian youth continue to queue to be enlisted into the various security services.
Earlier this week, hundreds massed up at the El-Wak Stadium in Accra to start recruitment processes into the Ghana Immigration Service.
“Couldn’t we have done this better? As a member of the Defence and Interior committee with an oversight responsibility on the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of National security, I am sure that all of us are beginning to look at this differently.”
The member of the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament added “When I joined the Police in 1992, what I have seen apart from the initial online application, there is no change. What it means is that for over almost 30 years we have actually not changed the system so much.

“Technology is transforming the whole world and gradually, we should begin to simplify some of these processes to ensure that these young people who are ready frustrated can actually get recruited in a very dignified and in a very humane manner.
“Looking at what is happening, sometimes we say that you need to have a feel of what is like to get into the job but gradually, the psychological impact on these young people before they get recruited can be lasting for their lifetime , lasting for their career. So, I think that we should begin to look at it differently using technology. We can shorten the process, we can simplify the process.”
