  "summary": "International corporate lawyer Victoria Bright has called on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to dissociate itself from the head of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) amid sexual abuse allegations against him. Bright, speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme, questioned the logic of the headmaster seeking political office while facing allegations, stating that people facing serious abuse allegations should not be placed in positions of increased power. She emphasized the need to protect students, establish the facts through a fair investigation, and hold anyone found responsible accountable.",
