  "summary": "Parliament has expressed concern over the continued detention of Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). The legislature noted that while MPs are not above the law, their rights and privileges must be respected, and any suspected legislator must be subjected to the appropriate legal process. Parliament acknowledged that the Speaker had been informed of the High Court's directive but had not yet seen the terms, and urged for the MP's continued detention to have a clear legal basis and not become routine or punitive.",
