The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has issued a challenge to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo, urging them to subject themselves to the same level of scrutiny and transparency that he underwent in the Airbus scandal.
This challenge follows the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s decision to exonerate Mr. Mahama and his brother, Samuel Mahama, of any wrongdoing in the Airbus case.
The scandal involved allegations of bribery by Airbus SE in the sale of military transport aircraft to Ghana between 2009 and 2015.
According to the Special Prosecutor, the case has been officially closed, and no criminal proceedings will be pursued against those involved.
In a statement dated Thursday, August 8, Mahama’s office called on both Dr. Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo to willingly subject themselves to the same level of scrutiny, emphasising the importance of accountability and transparency in leadership.
“In this spirit, we extend the same challenge to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and President Akufo-Addo to subject themselves to equal scrutiny and transparency as we strive for accountability in our leadership.”
John Mahama stated that the ruling re-affirms his integrity, expressing satisfaction with the OSP’s decision to exonerate Mr. Mahama from allegations related to the Airbus scandal.
