  "account": "Mr Eric Edem Agbana, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North, has shed light on why politicians sometimes fail to answer their phones during public service. In a Facebook post, he recounted a personal experience where his friend and brother, Madina MP Francis-Xavier Sosu, collapsed while delivering a speech due to the pressure of public service. Agbana explained that politicians receive hundreds of calls daily, making it impossible to answer every single one. He also shared a health scare he experienced, where he neglected his meals and ended up in severe pain due to juggling numerous commitments. Agbana emphasized the importance of work-life balance and appealed to the public to be patient with public servants, as they too have families and need to take care of themselves.",
  "summary": "Mr Agbana said about a week ago, Sosu had called him to represent the NDC at the GIMPA programme.",
