Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has said he will be surprised if it turns out to be true, that the Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi was not cooperative in the investigations of the bribery allegations that he made as indicated by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Kpebu described Appiah-Kubi as an astute lawyer who knows what he talks about.<\/p>\n

Kpebu says he wants to hear from Appiah-Kubi before he can draw conclusions based on the OSP\u2019s report.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, January 3, he said \u201cAt this stage, this story is still very fluid, you know how very sensitive this matter is, it keeps changing by the hour, so at this stage, I am not able to conclude.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Appiah-Kubi is an astute lawyer and we are yet to hear from him so it will be hard for me to conclude based on the OPS reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be very surprised that after making all these allegations it turns out that he is not cooperative. That is why I want to hold my horses till Mr Appiah-Kubi is interviewed then we can juxtapose his responses with those of the OSP and then come to a conclusion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not saying Appiah-Kubi is a saint, but it will cast a slur on his reputation if he doesn\u2019t respond.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Special Prosecutor (SP) has directed the closure of investigations into allegations that was made by Appiah-Kubi. The lawmaker had alleged that 80 Members of Parliament of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) received bribe from an unnamed businessman to back down on their demand for the resignation of Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Kissi Agyebeng, proceeding with investigations will not yield the desired results.<\/p>\n

\u201c…the Special Prosecutor directs the closure of the investigation in respect of allegations that a well-known and wealthy businessman attempted to bribe a section of the majority caucus of Parliament. The Special Prosecutor determines that the institution of criminal proceedings, at this time, against the OSP\u2019s identified suspect would serve no useful purpose,\u201d a report dated December 28 sighted.<\/p>\n

The SP stated that, \u201cThe investigation may be re-opened should the circumstances and further facts so dictate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis report is founded on regulation 31(1)(g) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (Operations) Regulations, 2018 (L.I. 2374), which mandates the OSP to publish detected acts of corruption through the receipt, collection, or collation of reports, documents, materials, complaints, allegations, information and intelligence,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the MP for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah-Kubi alleged that a wealthy businessman attempted to bribe he and 79 of his colleague NPP MPs for them to stop their quest to have Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta removed from office.<\/p>\n
