Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has clarified that he never referred to the Director of Strategy, Research and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Sammy Darko, or other staff as \u201cjunior staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on\u00a0Adom FM\u2019s morning show\u00a0Dwaso Nsem<\/em>,<\/strong>\u00a0Mr Kpebu said: \u201cI never called anyone junior officers. I only referred to a subordinate who works under Kissi Agyebeng. I wonder why Sammy Darko doesn\u2019t understand. No wonder things don\u2019t get done at the OSP. Those who work there are all under Kissi.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stressed, \u201cI never used the word \u2018junior.\u2019 You don\u2019t even understand the word \u2018subordinate.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Kpebu further questioned Mr. Darko\u2019s experience in the legal profession, saying: \u201cSammy Darko, when did you finish law school, and what cases have you handled in court? I know lawyers who completed law school 25 years ago and are not even close to the rank of a commissioner of police, yet Sammy Darko\u2019s position at the OSP is equivalent to that rank.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIf Sammy Darko were in the police service, by now he wouldn\u2019t even be a superintendent. I know lawyers in the police service for more than 20 years who are just going to ASP. But you, Sammy Darko, already look at your position at the OSP and think you are higher than someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining his choice of words, Mr Kpebu said, \u201cI used the word \u2018subordinate,\u2019 and Sammy Darko should go and check the meaning before coming at me. Even when you use the word \u2018junior,\u2019 and they say he is junior to the OSP, the person is not wrong. It just means he is not the one who is the boss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Kpebu is expected to report at 11 a.m. today for further investigations relating to the alleged obstruction, while a separate date will be scheduled for the inquiry into his corruption allegations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
