(Video) Frustrated GAF Recruits Demand Their Appointment Letters in Protest

• Hundreds of young Ghanaians protested in Accra over delays in receiving appointment letters from the Ghana Armed Forces.
• Many claim they were enlisted in 2021 and have waited over four years without formal placement.
• Protesters travelled from Northern, Oti, and other regions to gather near Jubilee House.
• Dressed in white shirts and black trousers—standard trainee gear—they marched to demand action.
• The group accuses the government of neglect and unfair treatment.
• They are calling for immediate finalisation of their appointments to begin work as full personnel.
• The protest adds pressure on the Mahama administration amid rising youth frustration and broader civic unrest.

A wave of frustration swept through Accra as hundreds of young Ghanaians—clad in white shirts and black trousers—took to the streets demanding long-overdue appointment letters from the Ghana Armed Forces. The group, many of whom claim to have been enlisted since 2021, say they’ve been left in limbo for over four years without formal placement.

The protest began near Jubilee House, the seat of government, and quickly gained momentum as youth from the Northern, Oti, and other regions joined in. Their message was clear: they are tired of waiting, and they want answers.

The demonstrators, dressed in gear typically worn by trainee soldiers, symbolised their readiness to serve. But instead of being deployed, they say they’ve been sidelined—ignored by a system that promised them opportunity but delivered silence.

Their grievances go beyond paperwork. For many, the delay has disrupted career plans, strained families, and eroded trust in the government’s recruitment process. The protest also coincides with rising civic agitation, including anti-galamsey demonstrations led by the FixTheCountry movement, which has turned its focus on the Mahama administration.

The youth are demanding swift action: finalise the appointments, honour the enlistments, and allow them to serve. As pressure mounts, the government faces a growing chorus of voices calling for transparency, accountability, and respect for those who answered the call to serve.
