The recruitment formed part of a broader institutional effort to tighten accountability in local revenue collection while expanding the human resource base required to improve compliance across the metropolis.

Head of Public Affairs at the AMA, Mr. Gilbert Nii Ankrah who disclosed this, explained that applicants would be required to meet a bonding condition involving two guarantors, noting that one guarantor must be a salaried worker, while the second must be a well-known opinion leader.

According to the PRO, the guarantor requirement was intended to ensure credibility and traceability and promote responsible conduct among collectors who would be engaged on a commission basis.

“The Assembly is committed to strengthening revenue mobilisation in a transparent and accountable manner, and that is why applicants must be bonded with two guarantors, one a salary worker and another a respected opinion leader,” the PRO said.

He stressed that interested applicants must report to the AMA 24-hour economy office to complete the official application forms, adding that the office remained the only designated point for the application process.
