  "account": "Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, CEO of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), expressed confidence that Manhyia South lawmaker Baffour Awuah would be granted bail when he appears in court on Saturday, October 3. Tameklo stated that if the lawmaker had honored the initial invitation in February, he might not be in this situation today. The MP's legal representative, Martin Kpebu, argued that keeping Awuah in custody does not help the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) case, as the former MP had been aware of the case since February and did not flee. Kpebu emphasized that as long as Awuah has been aware of the case since February and did not run away, keeping him in custody is not the best course of action. The Supreme Court has ruled that every offence is bailable, according to Kpebu.",
