Martin Kpebu is set to be questioned by the OSP over claims against Kissi Agyebeng.
Renowned private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has confirmed reports that he has been summoned by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, Kpebu confirmed that the invitation was over recent comments he made about the conduct of the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, in the OSP’s ongoing corruption-related investigations against former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta.
He said that the OSP wants him to clarify the comments he made, adding that he is to appear before the office on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
“They said the comments I’ve made, and that’s just effectively most of these things that I have here, that I should come and clarify. So I’ll go and clarify,” he said.
The renowned lawyer said that the invitation gives him the opportunity to restate his position that Kissi Agyebeng and some officials of the OSP cannot continue to be in post because of the handling of Ofori-Atta’s case.
He doubled down on his assertion that the Special Prosecutor’s remarks in a recent interview on why Ken Ofori-Atta was allowed to leave Ghana show that he (Kissi Agyebeng) did not act in the interest of the country.
“It’s even easy for me. It’s an opportunity for me to drum home the point that they should leave quickly… when they see my face, they will see that the guy means business. And I will be repeating it to them that they should go… the game is over.
“This double agent work, we cannot continue to deal with double agency. You are either working for the people of Ghana or you are not. But to be working, to appear to be working for the people of Ghana, and also be serving Ofori-Atta’s interest, we can’t accept that,” he said.
He added, “Because he said, ‘I intercepted the letter, I intercepted the letter,’ and you sat down and you allowed him to go.”
‘Kissi Agyebeng colluded with Ken Ofori-Atta to leave Ghana’ – Kpebu alleges
What Kpebu said previously:
Martin Kpebu accused the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, of being responsible for the exit of former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta, who is a subject of several investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, from Ghana.
According to Kpebu, Kissi Agyebeng’s recent admission in an interview with veteran broadcaster Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) that he watched Ken Ofori-Atta leave and was powerless to stop him makes him complicit in the former minister’s exit.
He explained that the Special Prosecutor should have told Ghanaians the challenges he was facing and not just watched the former minister leave.
“I told you that I suspected collusion between Kissi Agyebeng and Ken Ofori-Atta. There you have it; he has forced Kissi Agyebeng to come and confess. You heard the statement. He said he watched Ken Ofori-Atta leave. He watched him leave. He was powerless to prevent it.
“He went to the Immigration Service but didn’t get help. He went to NIB but didn’t get help. When the obvious answer, and the best, was around — that is, tell the sovereign, the owner of the country, the ultimate decider of things in this republic, that is the people of Ghana,” he said in an interview on TV3’s The KeyPoints on November 8, 2025.
He added, “Let’s not forget, first-class graduate — first-class graduate of law — and Kissi doesn’t understand the Constitution, that the ultimate decider of major decisions in Ghana is the public. Inform the people. That is the preamble to the Constitution. Sovereignty resides in the people of Ghana — Article 1(1).”
The lawyer also alleged that there are a lot of instances of corruption at the OSP under the watch of Kissi Agyebeng.
