“We are all home” is the usual refrain from most government workers especially those in the eastern region.
Almost every government office in the in Koforidua, the Eastern regional capital has been under lock-and-key following attacks by thugs belonging to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The affected organisations and public institution include the Regional National Health Insurance Authority office and the Regional National Service Secretariat (NSS).
A group of NDC supporters numbering ten lock up the Eastern regional office of National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
They asked all staff present to pack their personal belongings to leave the office premises
Intriguingly, also attacked were warehouses of school feeding programme as well as stores of SHS facilities in some Eastern Region schools, forcing head teachers to begin sending official and discreet messages and notices to parents, ahead of cool reopening dates next week.
The New Crusading GUIDE also gathered that some of the TVET facilities and laboratories were under attack in the same manner. Shops were burgled in the Central Business District of Accra by the rampaging you under the nose of residents and even some segments of the security agencies.
It was not surprising when citadels of political authority in communities, which are the residences of MMDCEs and offices, were also reduced to similar fate.
Little wonder that assembly structures were attacked with operatives under threat, despite their political leanings, sex and line of authority.
It would also seem strange that institutions such as the NLA whose structures John Mahama’s administration would be needing to enhance the lottery space that attract jobless youth would also be attacked, with the NLA and the New Juaben Municipal Assembly
District NHIS office.
It was a harrowing sight, seeing the thugs sacking every staff to move out and lock the offices – with workers stranded and unable to pick personal belongings including laptops.
The worse was that police, expecting NDC leaders in the areas cited to restrain their people, because of fears that the new administration would go after them, without the police authorities stepping in to defend them.
