  "summary": "Ghanaian Times reports that Minority Leader in Parliament, Osahen Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, has called on journalists to intensify their investigative reporting and hold public institutions accountable, particularly in light of growing narcotics-related incidents. At the launch of the 30th Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Media Awards, Afenyo-Markin emphasized the importance of press freedom and independence, as guaranteed by Chapter 12 of the 1992 Constitution, for democratic accountability and protection of the national interest. He also highlighted concerns over the potential damage narcotics-related incidents could cause to Ghana's international reputation, border security, and legitimate export trade.",
