Процесс набора в службы безопасности Ганы подвергается критике из-за обвинений в фаворитизме

"...Hope filled the waiting room like the smell of Dettol...."

"...If enthusiasm were electricity, Ghana would now be exporting power to Europe...."

"...Twenty families praying that their son will finally wear khaki and start speaking confidently at family funerals...."

"...A government uniform in Ghana is not just employment. It is stability. It is accommodation. It is pension. It is the ability to say at weddings, 'I work with the state.'..."

"...Forms are filled carefully. Passport pictures are uploaded...."

"...Pause for a moment...."

"...Naturally the public square has reacted with Ghana’s favourite coping mechanism. Humour...."

"...One netizen wrote: 'Ghana is the only country where you pay entrance fees for a race whose winners are already warming up at the finish line.'..."

"...Another added: 'The recruitment portal is just the waiting room. The real interview happens on phone calls.'..."

"...A third offered wisdom that sounded suspiciously like a proverb: 'In Ghana the queue matters… but the connection behind the queue matters more.'..."

"...Others were less diplomatic. 'This recruitment thing,' one user posted, 'is beginning to look like a national Ponzi scheme for hope.'..."

"...Because when hope begins to look like a business model, the public will inevitably ask questions...."

"...And in the Republic of Uncommon Sense, the elders have always warned about long queues...."

"...When the queue is very long, the wise man does not only watch the people standing ahead of him. He also quietly watches the small door through which the chief’s relatives enter...."

"...Because sometimes the problem is not unemployment. Sometimes the problem is believing that the queue determines who enters the room...."
