Accra, Sept. 11, GNA - Mr Stephen Asamaoh Boateng, a Deputy Minister of Information, on Thursday said the government was neither training nor recruiting people from a particular ethnic group into the Police Service and the Military.
He said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government embraced people from all other political organizations and run an all-inclusive government where appointments were made on competencies and to reflect the nature of the society.
Mr Boateng was reacting to some of the pronouncements by members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the "Kafo Didi" demonstration in Kumasi last week.
The NDC alleged that the NPP government was training its own military personnel and recruiting people into the Police Service on ethnic basis, thus leading to a delay in publishing the names of those short-listed.
The Minister accused the NDC of embarking on an agenda of misinformation to counter the exposures of corruption, brutalities and disregard for human rights that Ghanaians experienced during the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) administration.
He said: "Ghanaians do not deserve this diet of misinformation which is calculated to poison the minds of the good people of this country and to stir up unrest."
Mr Boateng, therefore, urged Ghanaians to ignore such utterances from the NDC and forge ahead in unity.
