According to Kpebu, his association with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during its time in opposition was cited as the primary reason for the rejection.
He shared his experience on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on June 27, explaining how a senior official in a state institution, which he chose not to name, dismissed him based on his alleged political leanings.
“Just for standing up against the bad governance of former President Akufo-Addo, there was this state institution… when they saw a client trying to hire my services… they told the client, ‘this guy is an NDC, remove his name,’” Kpebu revealed.
The lawyer drew a parallel between his personal experience and the political victimisation currently unfolding at the Bank of Ghana, where employees were dismissed and reinstated under controversial circumstances.
Kpebu, however, commended the Bank of Ghana Governor for reinstating the dismissed staff, stating, “on the balance, it shows that the Governor is a listening Governor.”
He stressed the need for reforms to protect state institutions from political interference, warning that such actions undermine national unity and professionalism.
The legal expert cautioned that the persistence of these practices could erode the credibility of key state institutions.
