General News of Tuesday, 10 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comTensions erupted at the Tema Central office of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) after some executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) forcibly locked up the facility in protest over what they describe as unfair and exclusionary appointments. In a video shared by JoyNews, the aggrieved executives are seen confronting officials at the NHIS office before proceeding to lock the premises with chains and padlocks, effectively halting operations. The action led to the temporary shutdown of services at the NHIS office, leaving several residents stranded and unable to access healthcare-related services. As of the time of filing this report, officials of the National Health Insurance Authority were yet to issue an official response to the incident. The incident has sparked public debates about political interference in public institutions and the impact of internal party disputes on essential public services.
