Fool,convert to Christianity and support lsrael's genocidal war against Gazans? Christianity has lost its credibility. Christianity has become a haven for all men and women of dubious characters.

@Convert to...
Mr Hamas Supporter, is Christianity or Judaism responsible for the kidnappings and shootings and bombings and wars and destruction of life and property in Nigeria, Somalia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Sudan, etc?
Ask your Hamas why they wear military uniforms only for parades but wear civilian attire on the battlefield. Ask them if that is intended to promote the safety the Gaza civilians. Get yourself properly educated and stop following the ignorant noisy crowd. For the records, I do NOT endorse the killing or deaths of innocent civilians, whether they be Gazans, Israelis, Sudanese, Somalis, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Malians, etc.

Don’t give them the chance to rectify anything. They are criminals. Just sell them to Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, or Sudan to go and die. Libya can also be a crazy alternative for them.

That single sentence amounts to what transpired between the then Nigerian President and the Prime minister when both wanted to control the army, which only awakened the military to the power the possessed. The military once awokened, Nigeria has never known peace.

Minister made a fatal error with that one sentence

Well, this excuse of remedying the illegalities of those who sidestepped the processes to legitimize their enlistment to the forces must be stopped. There is nothing wrong with sacking them from the forces. If we think sacking them is a security risk, then we must as well not retire those who have been in the forces for years.

Hon Minister can you please tell Ghanaians these eligibility test requirements? Since it the tax payers money that is being used to feed and accommodate them. They will soon graduate and think they are better than other Ghanaians, when deep down their hearts they know they are not qualified to be commissioned or enlisted in the Ghana Armed Forces.

You are super smart Hon. Minister for giving them the chance to meet the requirements. However, if they don't meet the job specifications and job description, fire them in New York minutes.

Dear Mr Omane Boamah,

Thank you for your revelations but is it the fault of these ineligible army recruits or the Army Recruitment that is fraudulent? Indeed, these recruitment officers are somewhat complicit and therefore as an objective Ghanaian, who do NOT support the NPP or the NDC, I suggest you let them stay in the Army but as a deterrent demote them two ranks down. There is a rot in the Army recruitment process.

Omane Boamah is saying this to dent the NPP. IF it is backdoor recruitment how can they correct it. It is likely the process he is talking about is not significant if it can be corrected by the individual.

Why is it that it is only under akuffo addo's tenure that corruption assumed such cancerous dimensions, that, even a water tight institution like the commissioned officers training school wasn't spared. Herh!!! Military Academy and Training School? Jees. Hmm. Even if akuffo addo himself may not have been aware, how could he be so lax in his duties, to allow his appointees to have their way? Mmm.

They should be released. There should be no fear in letting them go. Standards of recruiting cadets as career officers should and must not be compromised. Cretaria for enlisting was set out so why should they side set it. They remain even more dangerous when allowed to commissioned as officers in leadership positions one day.

I don't know what those who put such people into the Military Academy were thinking. Academic performance or the lack of it is the most frustrating issue for an officer. If you cannot pass the promotion exams or you go on career course and perform poorly, you will not rise in rank and appointment in the service. The outcome will be a frustrating officer who will become undisciplined. Then they pose problems for the Armed Forces. You think the Other Ranks who are training them now and will become their subordinates on commission will respect the unqualified cadets when they commissioned?
By the way, several persons have been sacked or dropped out of the Military Academy, but not even one is reported in armed robbery. So, please just let them out.

That was not how the NPP reasoned/reasons. Do you know why there are so many criminals in the police? Ken Agyapong is so much responsible.
