The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has plans to review the period before retirement for recruits, popularly referred to as \u201cother ranks\u201d in the Ghana Armed Forces, should they return to office after the December elections.<\/p>\n
Currently, the recruits retire after 25 years, but the NPP believes a review is needed to give them more opportunities in the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).<\/p>\n
The Chairman of the party\u2019s sub-committee on Defense and Interior, \u00a0and MP for Bimbila, Dominic Nitiwul, earlier spoke to journalists on the review, and indicated the NPP’s intent to extend the period before retirement by five years.<\/p>\n
