Former Communications Director for People's National Convention [PNC], Emmanuel Wilson believes investigations into the airbus bribery scandal has been made be extremely challenging for the Office of the Special Prosecutor [OSP] led by Mr Martin A.B.K. Amidu.
To him, it was appalling for members of the ruling party in power to hold a press conference specifically revealing names of persons not cited in the airbus report, at a time when OSP had been tasked by President Akufo-Addo to investigate the matter.
“.… It will be very difficult for the Special Prosecutor to come out with a purely independent investigation in respect to the airbus bribery scandal when the party in power that appointed him has already given an outcome of the case,” he said.
Contributing to a panel discussion on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ programme, the PNC communicator indicated “it is not in an appropriate manner for the party in power to justify their earlier press conference held in respect to the airbus saga, stating the NPP party is a separate corporate entity from the government of the day when they form a greater portion of the governance, knowing what is right and how it must be done”.
Explaining further, Mr. Wilson mentioned that the right thing to be done in view of the matter at hand “is to allow the special prosecutor go on with his investigations by knowing who the abbreviated names are, as he goes further to prove whether monies exchanged hands to induce the said contract, then thereafter, the name-calling or direct accusations can start”.

APASCA. THIS IS PURE DAMAGED CONTROL NSO APASKA. NDC IS DOING ALL THEY CAN TO DIVERT THE AIRBUS SCANDALLL NARRATIVES AWAY FROM MAHAMA, CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY. UNFORTUNATELY THE MORE THEY TRY THE MORE THEY MUDDY THE WATERS. SOME CONSIDER THE CASE TRIVIAL AND WONDER WHY SHOULD MUCH ATTENTION BE GIVEN TO IT. CONTRARY, OTHERS IN THE SAME PARTY CLAIM THAT THE WORK IS TOO BIG FOR MARTIN AMIDU TO HANDLE. THEY HAVE SOON FORGOTTEN THAT MARTIN AMIDU IS INTERESTED IN GARGANTUAN CASES. MARTIN AMIDU WANTS TO DO THINGS WHICH HAS NO PRECEDENCE IN THE HISTORY OF THE NATION. THIS IS FINE OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM. HE MAY NEVER BECOME PRESIDENT BUT MAY GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS CAPABLE TO INCRIMINATE PRESIDENT. NOW HE HAS THE ALL THE TOOLS, AND THE SUPPORT. ALL EYES ARE ON HIM. IT IS BREAK OR MAKE FOR MARTIN.
instead of Ghana government redeeming its image by objecting to this ruling, we rather see it as political capital against opponents. How can a ruling indicate Ghana government through GO1 was culpable when it was not an established fact that GO1 took bribe. All the ruling said was that Airbus gave lofty commissions to its agents in this case intermediary 5 with the INTENSION of bribing its way to obtain contract when intermediary 5 is AIRBUS AGENT. Ghana government name should not even be mentioned without hearing Ghana's side of the argument. its a shame the international court of
