His comments come on the back of a recruitment exercise by the Ghana Armed Forces, which led to the death of 6 persons and caused injury to several others on Wednesday.
“The online application process will be seamless and online, utilizing a robust and secure platform designed to handle a large volume of applicants efficiently. To avoid overcrowding and unforeseen situations, the screening exercise will be done in turns,” said Mohammed-Mubarak.
The Interior Minister further assured the public that his outfit is committed to transparency and accountability throughout the recruitment process.
He expressed his condolences to the six females who perished in the stampede and wished the injured currently receiving treatment a speedy recovery.
