  "summary": "Former UN Senior Governance Advisor, Prof. Baffour Agyemang-Duah, has urged Ghana’s political parties to stop portraying criminal investigations involving their members as partisan attacks. He insisted that politicians must be held accountable under the law like every other citizen. Prof. Agyemang-Duah argued that while concerns about selective justice, freedom of expression, and high bail conditions deserve attention, they should not be invoked to shield politicians from investigations when there is credible evidence of wrongdoing.",
