Airbus scandal: ‘Fixing The Country’ Movement gives OSP 14-day ultimatum to reinvestigate

-

The Fixing the Country Movement has given the Office of the Special Prosecutor a 14-day ultimatum to reinvestigate the Airbus scandal involving former President John Mahama.

The group has threatened to organise a demonstration if the OSP does not heed to their demand.

At a press conference on Sunday, the convener, Ernest Owusu-Bempah said the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng failed to thoroughly probe the matter.

Mr Owusu-Bempah described the investigation as a “total whitewash” and did not do justice to the facts presented in the cases handled by authorities in the United Kingdom and the United States.

He stated that, the UK and US courts had previously found that Airbus SE had engaged in bribery to secure lucrative contracts, including the sale of military aircraft to Ghana between 2009 and 2015.

Mr Owusu-Bempah has therefore urged the British High Commission and the US Embassy to review the findings and report them to their respective justice departments for further action.

The Movement has also called for a public inquiry into the Airbus corruption case, emphasising the need for accountability and transparency.
