I didn’t campaign for NDC to come and do this nonsense – Martin Kpebu on EOCO’s conduct

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has criticised the conduct of some officials of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government amid the controversy surrounding the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Mr Kpebu expressed disappointment with what he described as the misuse of state authority.

His comments come amid the ongoing controversy involving EOCO and Manhyia South Member of Parliament, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah.

Mr Kpebu, who said he actively campaigned for the NDC ahead of the 2024 general elections, questioned whether the conduct of some government officials reflects what supporters expected after the party returned to power.

“It is a shame, I didn’t campaign for the NDC to come and do this nonsense,” he said.

He recalled the challenges he said NDC supporters faced while the party was in opposition under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

“Do you know how we suffered? Akufo-Addo, do you know how dangerous he was? Do you know what we lost?” he asked.

Mr Kpebu said he was therefore disappointed that, after the NDC returned to government, concerns had emerged over how some state institutions were exercising their powers.

“Then you NDC come, this is how you are misusing the power?” he questioned.

He said the situation was particularly troubling given the sacrifices made by party supporters during the NDC’s time in opposition.

Mr Kpebu also expressed concern about the handling of matters involving EOCO, warning that the conduct of state institutions could affect public confidence in the government.

He said the controversy could have wider political implications for the NDC if concerns about the exercise of state power are not addressed.

According to Mr Kpebu, the government must ensure that state institutions operate within the law and in a manner that maintains public confidence.

He further cautioned that unresolved concerns surrounding the conduct of state agencies could become an issue for the NDC as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
