Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has called on Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng to account for his handling of corruption investigations, questioning the slow pace of prosecutions.
Kpebu’s concerns come in the wake of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) declaring former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a suspect in four major corruption cases, including the National Cathedral project and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) contracts.
At a press briefing on February 12, Agyebeng announced that Ofori-Atta was now a wanted person and must return immediately for questioning.
He warned that legal measures could be taken to compel compliance if necessary.
Speaking to the Press, Kpebu insisted that Agyebeng must justify his approach to case management, particularly the delays in prosecuting high-profile figures.

Sammy Darko, Head of Communications and Strategy at the OSP, has an answer.
He then responded “Law 101”: Can the OSP arrest without a warrant?
