Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has accused the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng of clearing his sweetheart Mahama from lingering suspicion in the Airbus scandal investigation.
In his latest epistle on Thursday, October 2, 2024, Martin Amidu stated, “Come the election year of 2024, the OSP ignores the precedent set by the office and published a cooked-up report on August 8, 2024, intended to clear sweethearts from lingering suspicion by suppressing an objective analysis of the available implicating evidence on the case docket and selectively. The political conduct by the OSP in using the 8 August 2024 OSP report to interfere in the 2024 elections, which the 1992 Constitution demands to be open, transparent, free, and fair”.
Martin Amidu reiterated saying “The OSP in July 2020 decided to postpone the interrogation of former President John Dramani Mahama (who had been identified by the OSP as Government Official 1 or Individual 1) even though there was overwhelming evidence implicating him in the suspected corruption offences in the AirbusSE-Ghana case,”.
He added that the report was meant to influence the outcome of the pending elections, noting the content and timing, claiming it lacks objectivity and is driven by political interests.
In August 2024, the OSP completed its investigations into the Airbus bribery scandal detailing investigations found no evidence that John Mahama identified as ‘Government Official 1 received any bribes.
