The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has rebuffed claims that investigations into the Airbus Saga would have proven official 1, Former President John Dramani Mahama guilty of bribery if it had sought detailed correspondence with UK and US judicial and investigative officers. The Communications Wing of the New Patriotic Party and the Ernest Owusu Bempah led Fixing the Country Movement, have described the exoneration of Mr. Mahama and his brother in any allegations of bribery concerning the purchase of some military transportation aircrafts from Airbus, as shoddy. The Fixing the Country Movement has consequently made demands including a public enquiry and a reinvestigation of the allegations insisting court documents from the United States of America and the United Kingdom pointed to bribery against the two, their associates and assigns. In a written response forwarded to the Ultimate FM Breakfast Team, the OSP's Director, Strategy, Research & Communication Samuel Appiah Darko pointed the critics to relevant portions of the OSP's comprehensive report which answers all the questions raised in their media engagements.
"The OSP thoroughly reviewed and analysed the UK and US judgments, which are reproduced in detail in the OSP report.
