Martin Kpebu demands answers from Special Prosecutor over case delays.

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has called on Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng to account for his handling of corruption investigations, questioning the slow pace of prosecutions.

Kpebu’s concerns come from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) declaring former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a suspect in four major corruption cases, including the National Cathedral project and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) contracts.

At a press briefing on February 12, Kissi Agyebeng announced that Ofori-Atta was wanted and must return immediately for questioning.

He warned that legal measures could be taken to oblige compliance if necessary.

In an interview, Mr. Kpebu insisted that the special prosecutor must justify his approach to case management, particularly the holdups in prosecuting high-profile figures.

 He asserted that “Kissi Agyebeng’s management style must be seriously audited. He must come and account for his management style either than that we cannot continue to just give him support”.

He added that blaming former President Akufo-Addo for obstructing the OSP’s work is no longer an excuse, emphasizing the need for swift action.

“Those days where you will just come and say Akufo-Addo is hindering the work are over. If we’re to do that, a lot of things will go under the carpet. I’m not satisfied with the pace of work,” he stated.

Kpebu’s comments add to growing calls for greater accountability within the Office of the Special Prosecutor as the public awaits decisive action on corruption cases.
