Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram and Minister for Communications and Digital Innovation, Sam George, has called for a review of the maximum age for enlistment into Ghana’s military services.
He argues that there are people in their 30s who are physically fit and sound enough to serve their nation.
Therefore, such people must not be denied this opportunity simply because of their age.
Sam George holds the view that “an upper limit of 35 years would serve our young people better”
Adding that “Let’s nurture their dreams and not kill it”.
Making this point on social media, he said “I honestly believe it is time for our beloved Nation to re-examine the maximum age for enlistment into our military services.
There are people in their 30s who are physically fit and sound enough to serve their Nation. We must not deny them this opportunity simply because of their age.
There is precedence across the world. I believe an upper limit of 35 years would serve our young people better. Let’s nurture their dreams and not kill it.
For God and Country”.
Ghana’s Military last week announced that it has started the enrollment process, adding that 12,000 Ghanaians will be enrolled in tthe next four years.
