  "summary": "Dr. James Kwabena Bomfeh Jnr, a lecturer at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) and CEO of the Centre for Conflict and Security Studies (CenCES), has emphasized that the Attorney General of Ghana has a duty to provide information on the AKSA power deal bribery scandal, regardless of any public mistrust in state institutions. During a discussion on JoyNews' Newsfile, Dr. Bomfeh argued that the Attorney General and Parliament should be held accountable for their handling of the matter, but the public should still engage with and demand answers from these institutions. He proposed the formation of a cross-sectoral committee involving traditional leaders, religious leaders, the media, civil society organizations, and student groups to investigate the AKSA controversy and related issues about public contracts and state resource management.",
