Chaos erupts in parliament over nurses’ strike statement

Proceedings in Parliament descended into chaos on Tuesday, June 10, following a heated confrontation over the Minority’s attempt to make a statement on the ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).

Ranking Member on the Health Committee, Dr. Ayew Afriyie, insisted on addressing the House on the nurses’ industrial action despite the first deputy Speaker, Bernard Ahiafor’s refusal to admit the statement.

The situation escalated when the Speaker ordered the Marshal to remove Dr. Afriyie from the chamber, triggering uproar among Minority MPs.

Amid protests and disruptions, tensions ran high as members engaged in heated exchanges, forcing the Speaker to adjourn proceedings to Wednesday.
