  "account": "The Ghana Education Service (GES) has stated that the Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, Abdulai Zakaria, has not been cleared of sexual abuse allegations against female students. According to the Public Relations Officer of the GES, Daniel Fenyi, the Disciplinary Committee investigating the matter has not completed its work, despite reports suggesting otherwise. Mr Fenyi emphasized that no individual involved in the allegations has been cleared and highlighted the sensitivity of the issue, stating that the committee needs time to gather all relevant information from the affected students. The committee, expected to submit its findings by Wednesday, requested additional seven working days to ensure a comprehensive report, considering the accounts of all alleged victims. Some students who were scheduled to meet the committee did not attend, while others needed alternative arrangements to participate. The GES management granted the extension, assuring stakeholders that the investigation remains ongoing and that the committee will complete its work within the extended period.",
