Martin Kpebu prepares petition for removal of Special Prosecutor
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.

Minister for the Interior, Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, has confirmed that former Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Sedina Tamakloe Attionu, is in prison and serving her jail term.
Speaking in an interview on Joy news, Mr. Muntaka dismissed claims that the former MASLOC boss was being held in a private location.
He said she has been in the custody of the state since she returned to Ghana.
“From the day Sedina came, she has been with us, and she’s serving her time,” he said.
The minister explained that the public is not usually told the specific prison where inmates, especially high-profile persons, are being held for security reasons.
He said even judges who sentence offenders do not necessarily know the specific prison where they are sent.
“If you want to visit her, you can write to the Prisons Service. They will talk to her, and if she is interested in you coming, she will let you come,” Mr. Muntaka stated.
According to him, disclosing the location of high-profile inmates could put their lives at risk, adding that some developed countries also keep such information confidential for security purposes.
His comments come amid public speculation over the whereabouts of Ms. Tamakloe Attionu following reports that she had returned to Ghana to begin serving her prison sentence.

The institutions expressed appreciation for the outreach and pledged to support regular safety audits, joint emergency drills, and potential Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships with the Service.
