  "summary": "Speaker of Parliament Alban Sumana Kingsford Bahbin challenged the Ewe diaspora to move beyond cultural celebrations and remittances, urging them to leverage their global network as a catalyst for investment and economic transformation in Ghana. Speaking at the 33rd anniversary celebration of the Council of Ewe Associations of North America (CEANA) in Washington, D.C., Bahbin highlighted the diaspora's unique opportunity to turn its strong social capital into sustainable development, emphasizing that culture should not only bring people together to celebrate but also to develop. CEANA, established in 1993, was commended for its contributions to Ghana's development, including scholarships and support for schools, libraries, and healthcare facilities. However, the statement urged the association to position its extensive network as a bridge to connect traditional leaders and local stakeholders with international investors, universities, technology firms, and development partners in critical sectors such as agriculture, tourism, infrastructure, and enterprise development.",
