The Office of former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed satisfaction with the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) ruling that clears him of any wrongdoing in the controversial Airbus ‘scandal.’
In a press statement issued on Thursday, August 8, the office emphasized that Mr. Mahama has always been a man of integrity, committed to the principles of honesty and transparency.
The statement further noted that the OSP’s findings vindicate Mr. Mahama, revealing the baseless nature of the allegations against him.
Additionally, the Office criticized the ruling government, accusing it of attempting to exploit the matter for political gain, only to have its efforts exposed by the OSP’s ruling.
“The Office of HE John Dramani Mahama wishes to express profound satisfaction with the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) ruling, which exonerates the former president from allegations in the Airbus ‘scandal’.”
“The OSP’s ruling reaffirms what we have always known: John Dramani Mahama is a man of integrity, a leader committed to the principles of honesty and transparency.”
“The facts of this case have been available, and the public has observed the machinations behind the scenes—including the disingenuous attempts by the current ruling government to exploit this matter for political gain,” an excerpt of the statement said.
In 2020, former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu identified former President John Dramani Mahama as the mysterious ‘Government Official 1’ in the Airbus scandal involving the procurement of aircraft for the Government of Ghana.
Although Mr. Mahama denied the accusation, members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) continued to insist on his involvement in the bribery scandal.
