Private Legal practitioner Martin Kpebu announced that he will submit a formal petition for the removal of the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, next week.
Kpebu described the action as a decisive step, asserting that it marks the end of the Office of the Special Prosecutor in its current form. “At this stage, we will submit the petition for the OSP’s removal this coming week. This is the end of the OSP. Kissi Agyebeng is not fit for that office,” he said.
The announcement comes amid ongoing concerns raised by Kpebu about the OSP’s internal processes, handling of sensitive information, and what he perceives as leadership failures. He has previously questioned why critical information was being directed to subordinates rather than board-level officials, and has accused the office of incompetence in managing high-profile cases.
Kpebu’s upcoming petition is expected to reignite a national debate about the future and effectiveness of the OSP in Ghana’s anti-corruption framework.
