The Fixing the Country Movement has accused the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) of whitewashing the Airbus corruption scandal involving former President John Mahama.
At a press conference, the movement's convener, Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Bonsu, said the OSP's investigation was a "shoddy work" that failed to hold anyone accountable.
The movement noted that the scandal has already been investigated with Airbus penalized by UK and US authorities to pay nearly $4 billion in fines.
Owusu Bempah pointed out that court documents revealed that Mahama's brother, Samuel Adam Mahama, was an intermediary in the bribery scheme.
He added that Mahama himself was identified as "Government Official 1" with a reputation for bribe-taking.
The Fixing the Country Movement is calling for an independent investigation, a public inquiry, and the British High Commission and US Embassy to step in.
The Movement has given the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) a 14-day ultimatum to reinvestigate the Airbus scandal involving former President John Mahama.
"We are giving the OSP 14 days to reinvestigate the Airbus scandal and hold those responsible accountable. If they fail to do so, we will organize a public protest and demand justice for the Ghanaian people," Bempah said.
"The OSP's initial investigation was a whitewash. We will not stand by and watch as corruption and impunity are swept under the rug. We demand accountability and transparency," he stated.
