MFWA boss’ take on Airbus bribery scandal

-

The Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Mr Sulemana Braimah, is calling for full disclosure on the Airbus bribery scandal.

In a Facebook post, Mr Braimah said Ghanaians need to know the officials named in the court ruling.

“So yes, bribes were paid, according to the payers. Did the said key elected government official for who the bribe monies were intended, receive the bribe monies? We don’t know. But we need to know,” he added.

THE EXPLOSIVE AIRBUS SCANDAL: WHO WAS THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL?

1. The revelations of bribery/corruption are contained in court documents, they are not allegations, assumptions or perceptions.

2. They are revelations because the ‘payers’ of the bribes confessed to paying.

3. Even though those to whom the bribe monies were paid directly, were not said to be in government or government officials (intermediaries) at the time, at least one of them named as “Intermediary 5” is said to be a relative of an ELECTED government official.
