The Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle, is facing backlash on social media following a heated altercation with Nsawam Adoagyiri MP Frank Annoh-Dompreh during a Parliamentary Appointments Committee sitting on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
A video of the incident, shared by Channel One TV, shows Annoh-Dompreh, who also serves as the Minority Chief Whip, reacting strongly to Hardcastle’s description of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) caucus as “micro.” The exchange escalated when Annoh-Dompreh allegedly threatened to take action against Hardcastle, prompting her to retort by calling him “silly.”
The clash has sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with many social media users condemning Hardcastle’s remarks. Critics have described her conduct as “arrogant” and “disrespectful,” while others have questioned the appropriateness of such exchanges in a formal parliamentary setting.
As the video continues to circulate, the incident has reignited debates about decorum and professionalism in Ghana’s political sphere, with calls for both parties to exercise restraint in future engagements.
