Martin Kpebu (L) pledges to file petition for removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng (R)
Renowned private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has made some wild corruption allegations against the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com, Kpebu, who has been calling for the head of Kissi Agyebeng for his handling of the case of former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta, accused him (the Special Prosecutor) of taking bribes in his role.
Martin Kpebu accused the Special Prosecutor of demanding an alleged sum of $40,000 from former Minister of State at the Finance Ministry, Charles Adu Boahen, in order to drop the charges against the former minister, who was then under investigation.
“I want to show Ghanaians that I’m not scared. When Kissi Agyebeng freed Adu Boahen, he wrote to him to bring him $40,000 cash, after telling Ghanaians he had not committed any crime within his jurisdiction. What is your mandate to collect $40,000?” he is quoted to have said.
The lawyer, who is reported to have made these remarks during an interview on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue on Saturday, December 6, 2025, said that he has the evidence to prove his allegation against Kissi Agyebeng.
He also accused the Special Prosecutor of interfering in an investigation against the current Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa South, Dr Kingsley Agyemang, who was a suspect in a corruption scandal during his tenure as the Registrar of the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat.
He claimed that Kissi Agyebeng stopped the investigation because he feared it would hurt the parliamentary ambitions of Dr Agyemang.
“[Dr] Kingsley Agyemang, MP now, used to be in charge of the Scholarship Secretariat [Registrar]. A corruption case against Kingsley Agyemang was reported to the OSP, and he was due for arrest to write his statement. But Kissi Agyebeng blocked the arrest and said Kingsley was his friend and it was going to affect his chances of winning the primaries in Abuakwa South,” he said.

He further alleged that the Special Prosecutor not only stopped the corruption investigation against Dr Agyemang, but also led a smear campaign against Samuel Atta Akyea, who was then the MP for Abuakwa South.
“He employed some people to do a smear campaign against Samuel Atta Akyea, former MP for Abuakwa South, in order to secure the seat. One of the guys has confessed to being promised two slots of scholarship,” he added.
