Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has exposed Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng for cooking up the Airbus report which he claimed is a means of influencing the 2024 elections.
In his latest epistle on Thursday, October 2, 2024, Martin Amidu stated he was castigated by the NPP Government and accused of aiding the NDC while he was the Special Prosecutor.
“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”, Martin Amidu claimed.
He argued 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.
Martin in the same epistle also articulated his displeasure in the report saying he is left in no doubt that the OSP report is a gargantuan hoax, hollow, politically motivated and smacks of an instrument of collusive election interference by the OSP in the 2024 elections.
He added that “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,”.
Martin Amidu called on the OSP to explain to Ghanaians why it concealed an objective analysis of the evidence on the Airbus SE-Ghana corruption case docket and related information.
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.
