The Minority Caucus in Parliament has demanded the immediate arrest of individuals responsible for the unlawful closure of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) office in Tema Central.
In a statement signed by the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Health Committee, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie, on Thursday, February 12, 2026, the Minority condemned the action as a direct attack on public order and an unacceptable disruption of essential healthcare services.
“No political grievance justifies shutting down a public health institution. The NHIS exists to serve vulnerable citizens and must not be used as a tool for partisan disputes,” the statement said.
The caucus warned that failure by law enforcement agencies to act decisively could set a dangerous precedent and erode public confidence in governance and the rule of law.
It further called for the immediate reopening of the NHIS office to restore vital services, including registration, renewals, and claims processing.
The statement stressed that citizens should not suffer due to political disagreements, and accountability must be swift and visible to protect public health infrastructure.
