Samson Ahi, a Deputy Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, has warned the Member of Parliament for Tolon, Habib Iddrisu, to be very careful with him as he is not his small boy.
The confrontation follows Habib Iddrisu’s who teased the deputy minister on the floor of Parliament while contributing to a debate.
The Tolon MP questioned why the Majority Leader had assigned a first-time MP to represent the caucus instead of a more experienced lawmaker.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Habib Iddrisu stated, “The Majority Leader will choose the deputy Health minister, who is a first-time MP, to represent the caucus. Meanwhile, you have a sixth-term MP here who is also a deputy minister, a former leader, and a former Senior Deputy Minister. Even when they are assigning people, they don’t want Samson Ahi to do it. Samson Ahi, what is your crime?”
The Tolon MP’s comments did not sit well with Samson Ahi, who immediately responded with a stern warning.
He accused the Tolon MP of repeatedly disrespecting him.
Samson Ahi stated, “This is a serious matter. You should know that I represent the good people of Bodi, so learn to respect me. You have been misbehaving of late, and I am not your small boy to be joking with.
“This is the second time you have done this, and I am not comfortable with it. This House is for serious people, and we conduct serious business here. Don’t keep playing with me. I object to that, and you have to refrain from doing it. Let this be the first and last time,” Ahi stated.
In other news, the Minority in Parliament has ordered the Mahama administration to discontinue the reported second prosecution of jailed TikToker Camilla Alhassan.
The Minority in Parliament demanded a halt to the use of what it describes as outdated laws that criminalise free speech.
Afenyo-Markin, the Minority leader, urged the government to immediately stop all prosecutions under Sections 207 and 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, asserting that the provisions have no place in a modern democracy.
Speaking at a press conference in Parliament on Friday, July 17 2026, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin stated, “We demand the immediate withdrawal of all pending prosecutions under Sections 207 and 208 of the Criminal and Other Offences Act, including the second prosecution threatened against Camilla Alhassan”.
Afenyo-Markin also demanded the release of persons currently serving prison terms under the provisions.
He added, “We demand the discharge of any person currently serving a sentence, including Kwame Nkrumah II. There’s a gentleman, Kwame Nkrumah II, who was jailed about six months ago over a TikTok video”.
“We demand the passage, without delay, of legislation repealing both sections. The Mighty Minority is proposing legislation along the lines of the bill already before the House,” he said.
“We are asking His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama to ensure that no prosecution is undertaken by the police forthwith,” he said.
His comments follow the Ghana Police Service, which has revealed that the TikToker Camila Alhassan, who has been jailed, will be taken to court again over a separate charge.
According to the Police, Camila Alhassan will also be put before the High Court for a separate charge of false communication.
