US-tested evidence could strengthen OSP’s case against persons of interest in Asante Berko case – Kpebu

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu says evidence gathered and tested in the United States could significantly strengthen the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) investigation into the Ghanaian dimension of the bribery case involving former Goldman Sachs banker and former Tema Oil Refinery Managing Director, Asante Kweku Berko.

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has stated that evidence gathered and tested in the United States could significantly bolster the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) investigation into the Asante Berko bribery case. The evidence, which has already stood the test of time in a US court, meets the criminal standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt, providing a strong foundation for the OSP’s case.

Kpebu criticized the OSP for not adequately communicating updates on the investigation and highlighted the potential interest of US authorities in the successful conclusion of the Ghanaian investigation, given the US conviction. He emphasized the importance of the Attorney General’s oversight and the potential role of Berko’s cooperation and witness testimonies in establishing the facts of the case.
