The report of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on the Airbus scandal cannot be a superior record over a court judgment, Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed has said. To him, the Special Prosecutor (SP) has not done enough investigation into the Airbus SE 'scandal' to exonerate former president John Mahama. Speaking in an exclusive interview with TV3 on Friday, August 9, Haruna Mohammed claimed that the Special Prosecutor is incapacitated to proceed with investigations into the 'scandal', hence the decision to exonerate John Mahama. He buttressed his point by saying that the OSP itself acknowledged that "he did not get all the facts to the matter" to help with his investigation.
"I don't think there is any clearance in here. The point is that he said that Mahama is government official one, what he wrote is his investigative report and I don't think that investigative report has a superior record over a court judgement.
"This is an opinion of him because he is incapacitated to move on for prosecution and he clearly indicated in his report that he did not get all the facts to the matter so if you did not get all the facts to the matter, how did you know that there was no payment.
"So if it is that the payment was done on a fact that you don't know, that's why we always have three sides to a person," Haruna Mohammed stated.
