Akufo-Addo stops all security recruitment; says 'no money' to pay them

President Nana Akufo-Addo has, through the Ministry of Finance, directed that all recruitment into state security institutions should be put on hold until the rightful clearance or instruction is communicated.
A communiqué from the Finance Ministry warned that there will be no money for logistics and salaries for the new recruits if they were to complete their training.
The affected security agencies are Custom Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS), Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Ghana Police Service and Ghana Fire Service.
The only security service that is exempted is the NIB, which has its funding from Switzerland.
