'This nonsense must stop' - Minority condemns forceful closure of NHIA office in Ejisu

The Minority in Parliament has strongly condemned the forceful closure of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) office in Ejisu, describing the incident as unacceptable.

The action, reportedly carried out by aggrieved supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is said to have been triggered by concerns over the alleged neglect of party loyalists in government appointments.

Addressing the media on Monday, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Health Committee, Dr Nana Ayew Afriye, called for an immediate end to such acts targeting public institutions.

He expressed concern over what he described as a growing trend of disruptions and acts of unrest, stressing that such conduct must not be tolerated.

Dr Afriye acknowledged the frustrations among sections of party supporters but cautioned that resorting to such actions undermines development and the smooth functioning of public services.

The Minority has reiterated its commitment to holding the government accountable and has pledged to speak out against actions that hinder national development.

Meanwhile, operations at the NHIA office in Ejisu have been temporarily disrupted, with the Minority urging affected individuals and groups to pursue their grievances through lawful and peaceful means.
