Renowned private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has said that he is tired of the two political parties that have ruled Ghana in the 4th Republic, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, the NDC and the NPP have nothing new to offer Ghanaians because they are all full of corrupt individuals.
Speaking during a panel discussion on TV3, on September 9, 2023, Martin Kpebu said that the only difference is that the NPP has proved to be more corrupt than the NDC because the level of corruption seen under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is way more than that of ex-President John Dramani Mahama.
“We are tired of the NDC and the NPP, they are the same. Expect it is proven that now, the NDC is less corrupt than the NPP. Because of the gargantuan corruption we are facing today.
“Mahama was also corrupt but Akufo-Addo’s own is on a grander skill. He (Akufo-Addo) is the mother serpent of corruption. So, we want to get something different from NDC and NPP,” he said.
The lawyer also rejected the assertions that former NPP flagbearer hopeful Alan Kyerematen should contest in the 2024 election as an independent candidate.
He said that he wants the clergy in the country to join forces and choose a candidate who would challenge the NDC and NPP in the 2024 elections.
“I don’t support Alan for an independent candidate. I have made it clear that the people, I support for an independent candidate are the churches. Let the churches come together, the Catholic Church, the Pentecostals, the Charismatic, the Chief Imam and his people, they should come together and give us a candidate to rival the NDC and the NPP."

Yes both are corrupt so Ghanaians shouldn't vote for any of them in the next election in 2024. Thank God that Akuffo Addo can't contest in the next election so he's out already. Knowing that Mahama too is corrupt, Ghana doesn't need such a leader and so Ghanaians shouldn't vote for John Mahama so that we can get rid of both corrupt leaders. Ghana needs someone better than any of these two corrupt leaders.
Those who say Akufo-Addo is corrupt are trying hard to justify the widespread corruption of Mahama's NDC government. Ghanaians remember Mahama's government as the most corrupt because it became too obvious that his administration hadn't preceded Mill's presidency, which was not as corrupt.
@ Alhaji, is true Mr Martin Kpebu organized Demo. in the country? She just want to know who sponsored him. Mr Martin Kpebu is part of the crooks in the country. Which party does he represent? Certainly the NDC.
As for @Sena Ahiabu nothing sensible has ever come from her! From her grammar it looks like she is one of the so-called foot-soldiers who blindly support their party even though they gain nothing or some crumbs thrown at them. You to no say: "...to organized..." . This kind of English can only be spoken by an ig.norant party foot-soldier! When they gain employment into immigration, police service, fire service , army or Nadmo through a politician then to them the government is doing well! All these positions are supposed to be occupied by Ghanaians anyway so it is not a favour if a politician gets you recruited into any of these services. It is your right as a citizen!
Here is the problem right there! I don't know what exactly is wrong with the black man! Know wonder it was so easy to colonize us! We are so tsupid! They will defend the people who are making them poor against the person who wants to enlighten them to come out of the poverty! For those lambasting Martin Kpebu, and needless to add in very bad grammar, he is a well-to-do lawyer and he can quietly and comfortably practise his law and live very comfortably for the rest of his life. How can you accuse someone of being an NDC man when he has labelled Mahama as corrupt? How can you say some belongs to NDC when he voted for Akuffo-Addo in the last elections? Is it that we are illiterates or what? We have the kind of politicians who ae stealing from us because of this attitude and blind and binary loyalty. When you speak against the other party then it's automatic that you must belong to the other party! What kind of logic is that? So as citizens we can't call out corrupt public office holders without being tagged with political colours? What country is this? All those insulting and berating Martin Kpebu are either school dropouts or beneficiaries of these corrupt regimes. Who does not know that the country is not doing well? Look at our inflation. Look at the depreciation of our currency. Look at the number of unemployed graduates. Look at the level of poverty in the rural folks. Look at your hospitals. Look at your public schools. Look at your roads. Only a very tsupid person or ***barred word*** and blind party supporter will say things are going well in this country! So is Martin Kpebu wrong in saying we need to change these two parties? They have been in power for the last 30+ years and nothing has changed! They have collapsed all the factories started by Nkrumah and graduate unemployment is sky-high! What new thing can they do? Ghanaians tell me!
This Martin Kpebu is more corrupt than his master Mahama, NDC gurus are demanding the balance of the money they gave you to organized the failed demonstration. Afiafitor
This guy is totally funny. He don’t know what he talking about. NDCFOO funny nkoaa. They will lose 2024 election.
Lame eqaulisation! hahaha. It does not wash!
You and who? You are a hard core NDC person talk for yourself. Hypocrate!
Hahahaaaaa, Maybe the presidency will have to rotate between the Catholic's bishops and the national chief imam/Ameer of Ahmadiyya. If politicians have failed us totally, let's try religious leaders too. The catholic brothers and sisters and lesser imams will be the DCE's, Ministers and CEO's. Maybe we can add Obinim since he can fly to heaven to see God, he can always visit God to fund our budget, then Ghanaians will no longer pay taxes. From every indication the good people of Ghana has lost complete hope in so called politicians, who then should we turn to for hope? A country blessed with all it needs on mother earth i e gold, bauxite, manganese, diamond, cocoa, timber, the sea together with its aquatic resources, crude oil, vast arable lands nationwide, river bodies all over, vibrant youthful population etc. unfortunately no leader to ensure that these resources benefit the people.
