Operations at the Tema Central office of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) were temporarily disrupted after some executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reportedly locked up the facility over what they described as unfair and exclusionary appointment practices.
According to information gathered, the aggrieved party executives stormed the NHIS office to protest alleged marginalisation of party grassroots members in recent appointment decisions within the scheme. The executives accused some authorities of sidelining loyal party members who worked tirelessly for the party’s electoral success.

The protesting executives insisted that the appointment process lacked transparency and fairness, arguing that individuals who have remained committed to the party at the grassroots level were being overlooked in favour of others perceived to have little or no involvement in party activities.
Sources indicate that the action by the executives forced staff and clients of the scheme to suspend operations temporarily as tensions heightened at the premises. The situation reportedly attracted attention from local party leadership and security personnel who intervened to restore calm.
The aggrieved executives have called on relevant authorities to review the appointments and ensure that fairness, inclusivity, and recognition of party loyalty are upheld in all government-related opportunities.
Meanwhile, attempts to reach management of the NHIS Tema Central office for their response to the allegations have not yet been successful. However, party insiders have hinted that discussions are ongoing to resolve the matter amicably and prevent further disruptions to public services.
The incident highlights growing concerns among party grassroots members about participation and representation in government appointments following electoral victories.
