Former National Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has condemned the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over what he describes as the unacceptable and needless intimidation of private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, following his arrest and detention by the OSP.
“This intimidation of Martin Kpebu is needless. It does not sit well with the impartiality expected of an institution like the OSP.”
Speaking in an interview on Saturday December 6, 2025, Mr. Mornah said the OSP should not act as both complainant and judge in matters where its own integrity is questioned.
He argued that the OSP ought to have referred the case involving Kpebu to an independent body like the Ghana Police Service rather than initiating punitive actions itself.
According to him, if the OSP believes Martin Kpebu has committed obstruction or made unfounded allegations, the proper procedure is to file a complaint and allow another institution to investigate.
“If somebody attacks your persona, you don’t turn around to investigate the same person yourself. It is like a judge reporting himself to his own court,” he said.
