Military not an employment tool - Nyaho Tamakloe tells sacked recruits
The recruits were sacked in December 2015 after they staged an unauthorized assembly on the school square and marched to the instructor’s accommodation demanding to be sent home because they felt their training was too strenuous.

His comment comes on the back of pleas by some dismissed recruits of the Ghana Army who are asking government to intervene and enable them be taken back to the military service.
Commenting on the issue on Accra-based TV3, Dr Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe said the Military should be commended for the action it took in sacking the said recruits.
He stressed that any move by government to reinstate the recruits into the Military Service will affect the security of the state.

“The ultimate punishment for what the recruits did should have been death or could be death. We have a case in our history where misfits or undisciplined youth found their way into the military and true to form have staged coups d’état to the detriment of the nation. The Military leadership must be commended for weeding out potential bad nuts. In the past misfits were enrolled into the Military based on political or ethnic grounds, that is why we must put a stop to the business of asking the President’s favour when people are removed from the military or security services on grounds of indiscipline.“The Military service is a sacrifice not an employment scheme. The military is a disciplinary institution that must be insulated from political inputs as much as possible, I have been part of the recruits myself in the past and I’m aware of political and ethnic influences. These boys should never be taken back into the military, if that happens that is the end of the armed forces.”
