Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has arrived at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to meet investigators over his corruption allegations against Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, but says he will not participate if the investigative committee is not independently constituted.
Kpebu, who spoke to JoyNews Fatawu Bayaga before entering the building, accused the OSP of repeatedly mishandling the process.
He said his two previous visits were “botched” because he was made to appear before officers who report directly to Mr Agyebeng.
“I am hoping that they would get it right this time,” he said. “They kept making me appear before subordinates. Subordinates can’t investigate their boss. It’s incompetence.”
He insisted that he is fully prepared to cooperate, but only if the committee is properly set up.
According to him, the OSP’s approach so far raises questions about fairness and the ability of investigators to handle the case professionally.
Martin Kpebu argued that allowing junior officers to investigate the Special Prosecutor undermines the integrity of the process.
“You, Fatau, can you investigate your boss? And you think you can keep your job? It’s ridiculous,” he said, warning that he would leave immediately if he encountered the same setup again.
He also linked the current situation to what he believes were earlier procedural failures in the investigation involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, arguing that the OSP “couldn’t even get basic things right.”
The OSP has not yet responded to his latest comments.
Mr Kpebu’s complaint is the latest development in ongoing tensions between the private legal practitioner and the Special Prosecutor, stemming from allegations he publicly levelled in recent weeks.
