Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, has claimed that the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, demanded a sum of US$40,000 from Charles Adu Boahen, a former Minister of State at the Finance Ministry.
According to Martin Kpebu, the Special Prosecutor collected the money in exchange for dropping charges against Charles Adu Boahen.
Mr Kpebu highlighted that he has evidence to back his claims of corruption against Kissi Agyebeng.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Big Issue on Saturday, December 6, Mr Kpebu stated, “I want to show Ghanaians that I’m not scared. When Kissi Agebeng freed Adu Boahen, he wrote to him to bring him $40,0000 cash, after telling Ghanaians he had not committed any crime within his jurisdiction. What is your mandate to collect $40,000?”
He further accused a former Registrar of the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat, Dr Kingsley Agyemang, of engaging individuals to carry out a smear campaign against Samuel Atta Akyea to secure the parliamentary seat.
Mr Kpebu asserted that the current Abuakwa South MP, Dr Agyemang, was then facing a corruption complaint at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, adding that he evaded arrest because Kissi Agyebeng intervened.
He said, “[Dr] Kingsley Agyemang MP, now, used to be in charge of the Scholarship Secretariat [Registrar]. Corruption case against Kinsgley Agyemang was reported to OSP, and he was due for arrest to write his statement. But Kissi Agyebeng blocked the arrest and said Kingsley was his friend and was going to affect his chances of winning the primaries in the 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 claimed.
In a separate interview, Martin Kpebu alleged that Kissi Agyebeng was handpicked by Gabby Otchere-Darko, the former Attorney General Godfred Dame and former President Akufo-Addo to do their bidding.
He further alleged, once again, that Kissi Agyebeng colluded with former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta to allow him to travel out of the country.
Speaking to JoyNews on December 4, 2025, Martin Kpebu stated, “… The story remains that Kissi Agyebeng sat on his hands and allowed Ofori-Atta to run out of this country, when Ofori-Atta had five cases pending before Kissi Agyebeng, which leads to a reasonable suspicion of collusion.
In the past, Kissi Agyebeng had worked for Ofori-Atta, and also Kissi Agyebeng used to work for Gabby Otchere-Darko, who is related to Ofori-Atta,” he alleged.
He added, “We always have to mention because we are connecting the dots. Kissi Agyebeng was hand-picked because he’s close to Gabby Otchere-Darko, Godfred Dame and Akufo-Addo. He was hand-picked so that he would do their bidding. He wasn’t picked as an independent person.
Martin Amidu was the one who was picked as an independent person, and see how Martin Amidu stung Akufo-Addo as the mother serpent of corruption. So, Akufo-Addo said ‘No, henceforth I’ll pick somebody who will play ball with me,” Kpebu claimed.
Also, Martin Kpebu has said he will take up a public office in the near future.
Mr Kpebu highlighted that while he expects to be appointed to public service in due course, the OSP is not a position he dreams of.
Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, 6th December, he stated, “That is not the office I have dreamt about; it is clear that some day I will go into public office, it is very clear to me now, but not Special Prosecutor”.
He further added that he cannot be seeking to substitute Kissi Agyebeng when he is the one leading the charge for his removal as Special Prosecutor.
“Having led the charge in calling for him (Kissi Agyebeng) to go, I should not be the one to replace him,” he said.
