  "summary": "Parliament has expressed serious concerns over the ongoing detention of Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO). Despite voluntarily presenting himself to the investigative agency on October 1 following a High Court warrant, the MP remains in custody. Parliament's Speaker, Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, has raised questions about the constitutional rights, privileges, and independence of Parliament as well as the proper exercise of investigative powers in this case. The detention has prompted Parliament to demand that due process be strictly followed.",
