Edudzi Tamakloe, an aide to former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that failure of the Special Prosecutor to invite John Mahama for questioning on the matter vindicates their stance that the former President is innocent.
According to him, the Special Prosecutor knows former President Mahama is not in the position to answer to allegations of bribery and corruption in the purchase of the aircraft from Airbus since the officials involved in the purchase are still alive and can respond to the allegations.
His comments come after the Special Prosecutor, in a Newspaper publication invited Samuel Adam Mahama, brother of the former President and flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, John Mahama, and three other British nationals to assist the office in investigations.
Speaking on Accra based Okay FM, Edudzi Tamakloe argued that the fact that the former President was not invited by the Special Prosecutor solidifies their stance that John Dramani Mahama did not receive bribe of any penny from Airbus in the said scandal.
“Was the former President invited? What is most important for me is as far as the investigation is concerned, John Mahama was not part of the invited persons. If I compare this to the statement made by Godfred Yeboah Dame that some government officials were not cooperating, at least from the preliminary investigation and the publication by Ghanaian Times, the people invited by 4 and incidentally, they are all British Nationals including Samuel Mahama even though He has Ghanaian parentage
