Members of Parliament from the Minority Caucus have called for an end to what they term "nonsense protests." They are demanding immediate action against individuals who attacked and closed the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) office.
The incident occurred in Ejisu in the Ashanti Region. The youth group involved has been identified as belonging to the NDC.
Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie, a Ranking Member on Parliament’s Health Committee, spoke out against the actions. He described the closure of the NHIA office as an attack on essential public services.
The Minority Caucus stated that the protest was unlawful. They insist that those responsible must be arrested without delay.
This action disrupted the normal operations of the NHIA office. Citizens who rely on these services were affected.
Parliamentary sources confirmed the Minority's stance. They are urging law enforcement to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators.
The NDC youth group's motives for the protest have not been fully detailed in official statements. However, the actions have drawn widespread condemnation from the Minority.
This event highlights tensions surrounding public service access and political activism in the Ashanti Region.
