  "summary": "National Paralympic Committee of Ghana President Samson Deen has warned that political divisions within Ghana's sports sector could jeopardize its future, as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) engage in recurrent attacks that deter sponsors and weaken sports leaders. Deen emphasized that politics is \"destroying our sports\" and called for a wider forum involving political parties and sports stakeholders to address the sector's problems. He urged journalists to investigate issues before publishing claims about sports officials and urged sports leaders to turn the language of reform into visible action.",
