Director of Operations for Fixing The Country Authority Hopesonb Adorye has hinted of plans by the group to storm the Jubilee House if former President John Dramani Maham is not prosecuted for his alleged role in the controversial Airbus scandal.
Speaking on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said former President John Mahama must be held accountable for his actions in the scandal.
He claimed that Mahama is the person code-named ‘Government Official 1’ in the Airbus scandal report.
He disclosed that the Movement would petition President Akufo-Addo through a massive demonstration if their call for prosecution of Mahama is not done.
He said as a Movement, they were scandalised that Mr. Mahama ”who is the grandfather’ of corruption in comments during his “Thank You Tour” of the northern regions made comments to the effect that the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government was engaging in grand corruption.
He further disclosed that they would also probe the UK, Canada and all other bodies that could help Ghana in investigating the matter.
He said if Ghanaians want the country to be fixed, we must be prepared to fix the country- by prosecuting Mr. Maham over his alleged role in the Airbus scandal.
”Mr. Maham is the grandpapa of corruption and we must prosecute him. He must be investigated and prosecuted,” he stressed.
”If Maham is not prosecuted, we will organize a massive demonstration and march to the Jubilee House and petition the President to deal with the matter,” he added.
Airbus, Europe’s largest aerospace multinational, admitted paying huge bribes in order to secure contracts in Ghana, under the erstwhile Mills-Mahama administration.
Airbus was found guilty by a High Court in London and is to pay a fine of 3 billion pounds (£3bn) as penalties.
Anti-corruption investigators according to The Guardian Report, described the court’s decision as to the largest ever corporate fine for bribery in the world after judges declared that corruption was “grave, pervasive and pernicious.”
The Serious Fraud Office’s (SFO’s) investigation related to bribery offences in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Ghana. The PNF’s investigation related to bribery and corruption offences in China, Colombia, Nepal, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia (Arabsat), Taiwan and Russia.
