accusations
A group called itself "Coalition of Local Government Job Candidates" had previously accused the SGLO of delaying the recruitment process after "accumulating wealth" through their applications.
In a petition, the group accused OHLGS of selling 61,000 application forms while only 2,200 people were needed.
He also accused the service of selling them Form 2 of the Public Utilities Commission (PSC) at 10 GH ¢ while it was supposed to be free.
Refutation
Nana Ato Arthur described the concerns voiced by the group as "pure malice and calculated lies".
According to him, OHLGS would not have participated in the sale of the PSC forms to the applicants.
"The PSC Form 2 was available for applicants to download their applications for free, but those who could not access it purchased the paper copy in the 10 ¢ Newspaper.
OHLGS does not participate in the sale of these forms by the press of the Assembly, "he said.
Nana Ato Arthur also said that OHLGS did not unduly delay the recruitment process, as the group had said, and explained that due diligence had been put in place to ensure that only competent people would be recruited.
Responding to a question about why OHLGS decided to resort to random sampling to select applications for interview, he stated that the cost of conducting a test of a certain amount of money was not enough. Ability was unbearable for the service.
According to him, the West Africa Exam Board (WAEC) required 25 GH ¢ per candidate for the "aptitude test", which would have cost us so much, but we do not We do not have this money ".
