The Office of the Special Prosecutor has exonerated former President John Mahama from any acts of corruption in the controversial Airbus bribery scandal.
In 2020, former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu accused Mr Mahama as the mysterious ‘Government Official 1’ in the scandal that trailed the procurement of aircraft from manufacturer Airbus for the Government of Ghana.
Despite refuting the accusation, members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) have maintained that the former president was involved in the bribery scandal.
Four years on, the current Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng has set the records straight in his latest update on the Airbus bribery scandal, saying neither the former president nor his UK-based brother, Adam Mahama, were bribed.
At a press conference on Thursday, Mr Agyebeng said his outfit upon investigating the case found “no evidence” of corruption against the former President.
