The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has denied media reports it has been hit by mass resignation of its personnel.<\/p>\n
Some media reports on Wednesday\u00a0suggested that over 400 fire service personnel recently put in applications to resign over poor conditions of service because they were unhappy with delays in their promotions.<\/p>\n
But a spokesperson for the Ghana National Fire Service, Billy Anaglatey, has debunked the reports.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”zta6A1MCDdhFrS0n1AtFdWUac4kjsCmm”]\u201cHow could it not happen that a story of this nature would just come up. Just a single person has resigned this year,\u201d he retorted.<\/p>\n
Billy Anaglatey also noted that, over 3,000 officers were promoted this year alone in response to the claim that officers were unhappy with delays in promotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would also like to say that this year alone, we have had 2,920 junior officers, and this officers have been on that rank for 13 years, 12 years, 10 years…\u00a0If you look at the total number of people promoted this year including the senior officers, it is 3,422 people just this year alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
3,000 people to be recruited in security services<\/strong><\/p>\n The Interior Ministry announced that about 3,000 people, including fire personnel are set to be recruited by Ghana\u2019s security agencies\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n According to the Deputy Minister, James Agalga, the transparency of the recruitment process has improved significantly with the introduction of the online system.<\/p>\n \u201cNot too long ago, the police administration advertised in order to ensure that criminals don\u2019t take advantage of the recruitment exercise. Qualified applicants must go on the internet and apply online,\u201d Agalga said.<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t need middlemen to apply and if someone comes to you and demands cash in order to aid you go through the process, immediately you should know the person is a criminal and wants to defraud you. The process is very transparent. You don\u2019t need anybody\u2019s intervention. If you are eligible you will be selected.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Delali Adogla-Bessa\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has denied media reports it has been hit by mass resignation of its personnel.
