Security Agencies clarify voucher error affecting 2025/26 recruitment portal
The security services have issued a notice to alert applicants about a voucher error affecting the ongoing 2025/26 centralized e-recruitment process.
According to the agencies, some applicants who bought e-recruitment vouchers from Ghana Post on 20th and 21st November 2025 have been unable to start their applications on the portal.
A review by the security services showed that the challenge was caused by an error in labeling the voucher details.
The “Pincode” and “Serial Number” were mistakenly swapped at the point of sale.
The agencies explained that affected applicants should simply interchange the details when applying, use the Pincode as the Serial Number and the Serial Number as the Pincode in order to proceed with their application.
They advised applicants who still face difficulties to contact the support lines of the various services for assistance.
The Ghana Police Service, Ghana Prisons Service, Ghana Immigration Service, and the Ghana National Fire Service have all provided dedicated phone numbers and email addresses to help resolve the issue.
The notice assured applicants that the problem has been identified and steps are being taken to ensure a smooth recruitment process for all.

National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Executive Committee member and Volta River Authority (VRA) Board Member, Wonder Victor Kutor, has described calls for the resignation of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa as premature and unjustified.
He argued that there was no evidence to establish that the minister had committed any wrongdoing to warrant such demands.
Speaking on Joy News in Accra on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mr Kutor questioned what had changed to justify the growing calls for the minister to step down.
He recalled that the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Abu Jinapor, had earlier indicated that the opposition was not accusing Mr Ablakwa of any wrongdoing.
Mr Kutor, therefore, challenged those demanding the minister’s resignation to provide fresh evidence to support their position.
“The call for the Minister to resign is premature, it is untenable. There is no evidence. I mean, what has he done wrong?” he questioned.
He added that documents, including boarding passes, airline receipts and flight manifests relating to the minister’s return journey, had been provided.
Mr Kutor expressed concern that the calls for Mr Ablakwa’s resignation could discourage young politicians from speaking out against corruption and advocating transparency.
According to him, politicians should not be targeted or maligned for demanding accountability, warning that such treatment could create the impression that speaking against corruption could later become a liability when one is appointed to public office.
He maintained that calling for accountability and transparency should not be used as grounds to target public officials without evidence of wrongdoing.
