A far-large number of youth thronged into the El-Walk Stadium in Accra for ongoing military recruitment as compared to past recruitments, typical of what Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah attributed to agenda of jobless graduates to fix hardships, poverty at all costs rather than patriotic desire to serve Ghana.

He noted that “In our time, going to the military was a patriotic duty to serve but what I see now is people who are facing hardship, poverty and can do anything to fix their problems. Government is racing against time to fix the burning issues confronting the youth. It’s a security threats”.

In view of the recent development,Security Experts have questioned the modus operandi in which applicants are selected into this Service taking into account Wa- Military brouhaha currently under scrutiny by Parliamentary Select Committee on Defence and Interior, Ejura- shootings incident also on the tables of George Koomson Committee with other related issues. Mr. Nunoo-  Mensah revealed that this occurrence is “politically motivated “.
