A Deputy General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has criticized the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for what he describes as a "lazy job" in its investigation into the Airbus bribery scandal. In an interview on JoyNews' The Pulse on Thursday, August 8, he argued that the OSP should have sought the court ruling from the UK, which referred to former President John Mahama as "Government Official 1," given the shared legal framework under common law. He further elaborated that a thorough examination of the UK court's judgement, which includes the opinions and legal references of the judges, could have provided the necessary evidence to build a stronger case.
"The OSP has done a lazy job because you can't conclude by saying that you don't have all the facts at hand; hence you cannot prosecute the case. Did he go to ask for the judgement? What was the material used in the judgement in the UK?
