A Deputy Communications Officer of the NPP, Ernest Owusu Bempah, has petitioned the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, over the Airbus Scandal.
Mr. Owusu Bempah in his petition is asking the Special Prosecutor to update Ghanaians on the investigations that have been conducted into the alleged bribery scandal.
The company admitted hiring the brother of a top elected Ghanaian official as its Consultant in the sale of the Aircraft.
Also, Airbus confessed to paying the said consultant through a third party when its Compliance Unit raised red flags about the close relationship between the consultant and the top elected official who was a key decision-maker in the purchase of the Military Aircraft.
Mr. Owusu Bempah, in the Petition stated, that, whereas he does not doubt the competence of the Office of the Special Prosecutor to get to the bottom of the case, he is appealing for immediate action to put the matter to rest.
