Former Central Regional Minister, Kwamena Duncan has taken shots at the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, for absolving President from the Airbus corruption scandal. A report by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) found no incriminating evidence against the former President in relation to accusations against him in connection with this scandal. Airbus, a European aircraft manufacturer, was alleged to have paid bribes in Ghana in the sale of three military aircraft to the country. The allegations came to light after a series of investigations and prosecutions of Airbus by the US, UK, and French authorities, compelling President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to refer the case to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for investigations. Airbus, after almost four years of investigations by US, UK, and French authorities, was fined $3.9 billion for its corrupt practices in Ghana, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Taiwan.
