Members of Parliament (MPs) from the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) took to the chamber on Tuesday afternoon, following ministerial vetting proceedings, to demand government action against what they described as increasing violence in the country.
The MPs were seen singing in the chamber as a form of protest, expressing their concerns over post-election violence and other disturbances in various regions.
JoyNews' Parliamentary Correspondent Kwaku Asante, captured the MPs singing one of the country's patriotic songs, "Yen Ara Asaase Ni" [This is our land] on the floor, urging the government to address what they referred to as widespread violence across the nation.
The protest comes after a recent incident in Obuasi, Ashanti Region, where clashes between military personnel and local youth resulted in the death of nine civilians.
