Parliament's Minority Caucus wants all individuals involved in closing the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) office in Ejisu arrested. They called the action unlawful. This happened in the Ashanti Region.
Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie, who is the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Health Committee, spoke out against the incident. He was at a press conference.
He stated that the protest was unnecessary. He described the event as a direct attack on the operations of the NHIA. The Minority believes this action disrupts essential health services for citizens.
The group responsible for the protest is identified as the Ejisu NDC youth. They were involved in the closure of the NHIA office.
The Minority Caucus is urging authorities to take swift action. They want those responsible brought to justice to prevent future occurrences.
This incident raises concerns about political actions impacting public institutions. The government is expected to address the security of such offices.
The specific reasons behind the NDC youth's protest are not fully detailed. However, the Minority calls it nonsense.
Authorities have been called upon to investigate the matter thoroughly. They need to ensure the safety and uninterrupted functioning of public service centers.
