  "account": "The President of the National Association of Graduate Teachers, Jacob Anaba, has expressed discontent over the National Democratic Congress (NDC) allowing Obuasi Senior High Technical School headmaster Zakaria Abdulai to run for party leadership while facing allegations of sexual abuse involving female students. Mr Anaba questioned the standards expected of teachers entrusted with students' well-being, saying the decision raises concerns about Ghana's values. He argued that sex abuse allegations should be treated seriously, as the headmaster's authority over students makes the matter particularly sensitive. The NDC's Deputy General Secretary, Mustapha Gbande, revealed that Abdulai could contest despite ongoing investigations. The controversy stems from over 14 female students' claims against Abdulai, who has since been suspended. Anaba emphasized the need for thorough investigations and called for accountability, irrespective of political affiliation or professional standing.",
