Minority Leader, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, alleged on Monday that all NPP Parliamentary Candidates had been given 30 slots each to fill the security agencies, but failed to provide any evidence to support this claim. This allegation has been widely criticized as baseless and lacking any credible evidence.

Deputy Majority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei, addressed journalists in Parliament, warning the NDC against making false claims that could destabilize the country’s peace and security. She stated that the claims by the NDC are so baseless that they defy any mathematical logic, as the government cannot afford to recruit nearly 10,000 persons into the security agencies.
