The Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery has said that the governing New Patriotic Party has an aim to recruit more women into the security forces.
Speaking on Metro TV's news analysis show, Good Evening Ghana, Dery said President Akufo-Addo wants gender parity in the security services.
“What President Nana Addo is looking at is to recruit more women and try to work towards gender parity,” he said.
According to him, the new government would put out a system to check recruitment access.
“We would have a system that would ensure that all Ghanaians have equal access to recruitment.”
The MP for Nandom constituency however, cautioned Ghanaians who want to be enrolled in the security services to beware of corrupt people who will demand bribes before they are recruited.

“Under Nana Addo’s government there will be transparency and therefore people should not fall to any prey of people saying they should pay something special in order to be enlisted.
“We would advertise before we recruit and when we do the qualification will be made known and that will also be done transparently,” he added.
