Parliament is expected to summon the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), led by Kissi Agyebeng, to answer questions regarding the recent detention of Ghanaians, which many have described as unlawful.
Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor disclosed this on the floor of Parliament on Thursday, December 4, 2025.
His statement was in connection with the detention of private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, who was held by officers of the OSP on Wednesday, December 3.
Mr. Kpebu had arrived at the Office on invitation to respond to corruption allegations leveled against Mr. Agyebeng.
His detention reportedly stemmed from a clash with police officers at the gate, which prevented questioning while he remained in police custody.
Speaking in Parliament, the Majority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament (MP) for South Dayi questioned the authority of the OSP to detain individuals invited for questioning and investigations.
He clarified that the Office has no legal right to carry out such actions, describing them as unacceptable.
Mr. Dafeamekpor further expressed concern about the conduct of the OSP, stating that Mr. Agyebeng and his Office amounted to an “abuse of power,” which necessitated his invitation to Parliament for interrogation.
On the part of the Minority Caucus, Ofoase Ayirebi MP Kojo Oppong Nkrumah criticized the Majority for shielding what he described as the misconduct of the OSP, citing recent arrests and harsh bail conditions imposed on some members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He questioned why the Majority Caucus now sought to summon the OSP, noting that they had previously ignored Minority complaints about similar actions.
Mr. Nkrumah argued that the Majority’s sudden interest only came after the OSP allegedly mistreated one of their own, a move he described as shocking.
