Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has announced that he is preparing a formal petition seeking the removal of the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng.

Speaking at Joy prime, Mr Kpebu explained that he lost confidence in the Special Prosecutor the moment he “sat and allowed” former finance minister Ken Ofori Atta to leave the country.

He argued that this incident alone was enough for the Special Prosecutor to resign.

He recalled that Mr Agyebeng had publicly stated in an interview that he intercepted a letter indicating Mr Ofori Atta’s travel route and attempted to stop it by reaching out to the National Intelligence Bureau and National Security, but did not receive support.

Mr Kpebu claimed that some former NIB heads he contacted denied ever seeing such a letter.

He stated that this contradiction will be a key issue in the petition he is preparing.

He added that he has a witness who worked at the NIB during the period and insists that no such letter from the Special Prosecutor was ever received, and that the witness did not even know Mr Agyebeng.

Mr Kpebu warned that Ghanaians should not rush to celebrate the recent charges filed by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, emphasising that he does not trust the process.

He reaffirmed his intention to submit the petition for the removal of the Special Prosecutor.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.

At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.

Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
