Over 1,300 applicants for positions within the Internal Security Services have been disqualified due to allegedly testing positive for HIV, a claim that a staunch NDC supporter is challenging.

Hajia Guda, a security service applicant and NDC supporter, has gone public with a direct challenge to Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak.

In video sighted by nsemwokrom.com, Hajia shared a post on her Tiktok page on July 13, 2026, she declared she would not back down until the government produced verifiable proof to support its claims.

Hajia Guda personally underwent an HIV test and received a confirmed negative result. She argued that the HIV explanation does not hold up, accusing the government of hiding behind a medical excuse to deny legitimate candidates the jobs they had earned. Her remarks come in direct response to Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, who had earlier indicated that 1,300 applicants for positions within the Internal Security Services were found to be HIV-positive during recruitment medicals and were consequently disqualified.

The announcement drew immediate controversy, with many Ghanaians questioning the scale of the figures and calling for greater transparency around the screening process. The debate has nonetheless intensified public scrutiny of how the screening results are being communicated and whether the government owes affected candidates a more detailed breakdown of the process.

While some commenters appeared sympathetic towards Hajia Guda and the disqualified applicants, others pointed out that the minister’s statement referred to 1,300 individuals within a much larger pool of candidates, not the entire recruitment batch.

The Interior Minister’s statement has sparked a heated debate online, with users divided on whether Hajia Guda’s challenge was justified or whether she had misunderstood the minister’s original statement. The government’s explanation for disqualifying over 1,300 applicants has been met with skepticism, with many calling for greater transparency around the screening process.

The controversy surrounding the government’s handling of the recruitment exercise is unlikely to die down anytime soon, and Hajia Guda’s challenge is likely to continue to dominate the headlines.
