Deputy Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Samson Ahi, confronted the Member of Parliament for Tolon, Habib Iddrisu, after the latter made remarks about him during proceedings on the floor of Parliament.

In a video circulating on social media and sighted by GhanaWeb on July 17, 2026, Habib Iddrisu appeared to tease the deputy minister while contributing to a debate, questioning why the Majority Leader had assigned a first-time MP to represent the caucus instead of a more experienced lawmaker.

“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?” Habib Iddrisu remarked.

His comments, however, did not sit well with Samson Ahi, who immediately responded with a stern warning, accusing the Tolon MP of repeatedly disrespecting him.

“This is a serious matter. You should know that I represent the government, 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 fired back.
