Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle
Some social media users have criticized the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle, over her altercation with the Member of Parliament for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
A video of the incident, shared by Channel One TV, shows the MP taking offense at Hardcastle’s description of his caucus in Parliament as “micro” during a sitting of the Appointments Committee on Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
In response, the Minority Chief Whip allegedly threatened to take action against Hardcastle. However, she did not take his remarks lightly and later referred to him as “silly.”
Reacting to the incident, some social media users have described Hardcastle’s behaviour as arrogant.
“The arrogance has started ooo,” one user commented.
“Emefa Hardcastle has taken her uncouth behavior to Parliament, so uncultured,” another wrote.
“This behavior from the lady is very disrespectful. It is entirely wrong to use such unkind words toward a Member of Parliament,” a third user lamented.
Others expressed similar sentiments, “What the hell? She is very disrespectful and arrogant. Calling an honourable Member of Parliament ‘silly’ unprovoked? Girl wei mbu neho koraa!”
“How do you call your colleague ‘silly’? That’s bad.”
“This is completely unfair, it reeks of arrogance and disrespect. You cannot approach the High Court and act in this manner. We must extend the same level of respect to the Parliament of Ghana, even if we disagree with their decisions.”
“And this woman wants to lead an institution as CEO? She thinks being hardcore and insulting people in public shows she can do the job.”
This behavior from the lady is very disrespectful. It is entirely wrong to use such unkind words towards a member of parliament.

Wooow
Some people are actually defending Miss Emefa Hardcastle?
Imagined if this had happened in the NPP administration.
Power has really taken the thinking abilities of some people and it’s sad
Some people I respected, today have lost that respect.
Let’s remember, 4 years…— Petit☠️💀👺 (@Mr_pee13) January 28, 2025
