The Member of (MP) for Asante Akim North, Andy Appiah Kubi, has expressed his disappointment in the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) following the conclusion of its investigation into the Airbus bribery scandal. The MP criticized the OSP, led by Kissi Agyebeng, for what he perceives as a substandard and unsatisfactory investigation process. The OSP's report, issued on August 8, revealed that the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was identified as "Government Official 1" in the scandal, with his brother, Samuel Adam Mahama, allegedly acting as the intermediary who facilitated the payment of bribes to various officials. However, the report also stated that there was no evidence to suggest that former President John Dramani Mahama was directly involved in the procurement and maintenance of the agency relationship between Airbus and the Government of Ghana. Despite these findings, members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), including Andy Appiah Kubi, have voiced their dissatisfaction with the outcome.
