  "summary": "Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State for Government Communications, has stated that no one has been arrested for insulting President Mahama. This comment was made in response to reports that the government has been focusing on arresting critics rather than developing the country.\n\nThe Minister's statement comes at a time when the government is working on various initiatives, including a National Emergency Waste Evacuation Exercise launched by President Mahama to tackle Ghana's sanitation challenges. The exercise aims to rid major cities of accumulated waste and restore public health.\n\nAccording to MyJoyOnline Ghana, President Mahama described the sanitation situation as a national emergency and emphasized the need for urgent action. The government plans to use existing state resources, including equipment under the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP), to address the crisis.",
