  "summary": "Parliament has raised concerns over the continued detention of Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), questioning the circumstances and the rights involved. In a statement, Parliament expressed concern about the need and proportionality of keeping the legislator in custody after he had voluntarily reported to the anti-graft agency and cooperated with the investigation. They emphasized that while Members of Parliament are not above the law, constitutional safeguards are in place to protect the independence of Parliament and the mandate of the people they represent.",
