It's unfair to accuse OSP of doing shoddy job on Airbus scandal

Anti-Corruption Crusader Vitus Azeem has defended the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and advised that the office should be given some credit for its recent findings in the Airbus bribery scandal.

The OSP has named former President John Dramani Mahama as the individual referenced as 'Government Official 1' in the Airbus bribery scandal; however, there is nothing to show that he was paid any bribes.

This conclusion, according to Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, follows an extensive investigation spanning four years by his office.

Addressing the media in Accra, Mr Agyebeng explained that the investigation into the scandal and the revelation of the identities of the persons involved were necessary due to the public interest in the issue.

These findings, however, appear to have displeased the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
