The arrest of a high-profile lawyer by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has triggered intense political debate, with accusations of selective justice and hypocrisy from both sides, leading to calls to abolish the office.

The OSP's detention of private lawyer Martin Kpebu became a major parliamentary issue, with the majority NDC caucus condemning the action and calling for the office to be disbanded. Critics, including political scientist Dr. George Zaato, accuse Parliament of hypocrisy for not speaking out when the OSP targeted individuals seen as sympathetic to the previous NPP administration. This incident highlights a broader consensus in Ghana's political establishment to abolish the OSP, arguing its powers are too easily abused.
