About 20 heavy built men believed to be members of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Invincible Forces, have reportedly besieged the offices of the Eastern Regional National Health Insurance Scheme, and forcibly locked the office of the Regional Manager.<\/p>\n

They claim they cannot work with the Regional Manger, whom they allege is an outsider and not part of the NPP.<\/p>\n

Confirming the incident to Citi News,<\/strong> the Eastern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh, said the Invincible Forces who besieged the office at 8:20 am, also demanded for some documents from staff of the scheme.<\/p>\n

Various groups and individuals have expressed concern about this recurring problem, and have asked government to crack the whip.<\/p>\n

The Convention People’s Party (CPP) is one of such groups which has called\u00a0on government to take action.<\/p>\n

Prof Edmund Delle, Chairman of the CPP, who made the appeal on behalf of the party, expressed outrage with the attitude of the pro-NPP groups, saying \u201cthey are a time-bomb, we must detonate them immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n
