Group Stands for Peace, Growth, and Development (GSPGD) has lauded the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for its impartial investigation into the Airbus scandal.

Former President John Mahama has been named as 'Government Official 1' in UK court documents and 'Individual 1' in U.S. filings.

Despite these references, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng's comprehensive investigation found no evidence linking Mr. Mahama to corruption or bribery in the procurement of the aircraft.

The Airbus scandal, which dates back to Mahama’s presidency, involved allegations of misconduct related to Ghana’s purchase of military aircraft from Airbus.

However, the OSP’s report, after an in-depth inquiry, determined that Mr. Mahama’s actions were based on good faith and did not involve corrupt practices.

GSPGD expressed sincere appreciation for the OSP’s commitment to independence and resistance to political pressure, underscoring the importance of fairness and justice in public service.

The group also praised Mr. Mahama for his openness and encouraged him to focus on patriotism and integrity if he returns to power.

GSPGD emphasized the necessity for leaders who prioritize national interest above all else to drive the country’s growth and development.
