  "summary": "The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations has urged Judge Francis Apangabuno Achibonga to determine the criminal trial of former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene strictly based on the evidence and applicable law, without any political influence. The coalition, comprised of SMARTGENZ, OmanGh Interest Advocates, Alliance of Pastors for Social and Moral Development, and Agenda for Security and Social Systems, emphasized that the court must independently assess the evidence and ensure that the accused's political affiliations or potential political consequences do not sway the outcome. The coalition stressed that the case is not only about the fate of the accused but also a crucial test of public confidence in the impartiality and independence of Ghana's criminal justice system. They affirmed that no individual should be above the law and that allegations should be proven through evidence presented in court, regardless of their severity or public attention.",
