Richard Gyamfi, a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu is the darling boy of the NDC.
According to Richard Gyamfi, Martin Kpebu is the NDC’s darling boy, which is why the Majority Members in parliament are demanding the scrapping of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), following his arrest.
He is quoted by GHOne TV to have said, “Martin Kpebu is NDC’s darling boy. It’s why their MPs are demanding that the OSP be scrapped because of his arrest”.
It will be recalled, Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, and some Members of Parliament called for the scrapping of the OSP.
They argue that responsibilities for investigating and prosecuting corruption-related offences should be transferred to the Attorney-General’s Department.
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, December 3, Mr Ayariga argued that the government is under-resourcing the Attorney-General’s Department while significant funds are allocated to the OSP, which he added has failed to meet Ghanians’ expectations.
Meanwhile, Dr Joshua Jebuntie Zaato has noted Martin Kpebu’s hypocrisy that when Paul Adom-Otchere was arrested by the OSP, and was asked to provide landed properties as a bail condition, Mr Kpebu was happy, accusing Adom-Otchere of misleading the OSP when he said he had no property.
However, when Mr Kpebu was arrested, he claimed the OSP demanding a landed property in HIS name before bail looks like a joke.
Speaking during a panel discussion on TV3’s Big Issues on Saturday, Dr Zaato stated, “He said worse things than he said about Kissi Agyebeng, he said things here about Akufo-Addo, he said things about Dr Bawumia, nobody touched him, and now all of a sudden under the so-called new freedom, the second independence. Under this regime, Martin Kpebu cannot sit on air and speak his mind without the state arresting him. Kissi Agyebeng is the state.
You see the hypocrisy. Paul Adom-Otchere went through the same thing when it happened. You were happy, JOYFM report, on August 1st 2025, ‘Adom-Otchere was misleading OSP when he said he had no property’, today, the same JOYFM is reporting ‘OSP demanding a landed property in my name before bail looks like a joke’.
Dr Zaato further slammed Parliament, particularly the Majority Caucus, “When Paul was arrested by the OSP, nobody in Parliament got up and said that the OSP’s office was being abusive. When Paul was taken away and denied his basic rights, nobody said anything”.
Are we saying that some people deserve it and others don’t? Where is our sense of fairness? Where is our sense of fairness as a society to say that wrong is wrong and that we shouldn’t do it?
If your idea is that Kpebu is better than Paul and that when it happens to Paul it’s okay, it’s justified, but when it happens to Kpebu it is not justified, what kind of society are we building?”, he quizzed,
Dr Zaato added, “Both Paul and Martin are victims of a state that is increasingly trying to criminalise speech, all this is happening before the new cyber law. Imagine for a minute if that law is passed. There are two things, and I’m asking that if we are getting into these debates, let us try to be a little fair”.
“Tyranny in every form is bad. That’s why I said that a threat to human rights anywhere in any form is a threat to human rights everywhere”, he added.
