Former Central Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Social Commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs, has waded into the airbus bribery scandal asking critics to leave former President John Mahama alone.
The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is convinced that 'Government Official 1' cited in the case is former President John Mahama and no one else.
The party has dared the former President to speak on the issue if he is indeed innocent.
However, Allotey Jacobs says 'Mahama is not corrupt' hence cannot be complicit in the bribery scandal.
"For me, I will stand with President Mahama that he is not corrupt . . .the last time I said President Akufo-Addo is not corrupt . . . let there be a little decency in our politics," he said on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'.
According to him all that both the NPP and NDC are doing is needless as the President has assigned the Special Prosecutor to investigate the scandal.
"We shouldn't go into the realm of speculation," he added.
President Akufo-Addo has referred the Airbus bribery scandal to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for immediate investigations.
A letter signed by Communications Director at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin stated that these investigations are expected to be conducted in collaboration with the United Kingdom authorities.

This ***barred word*** AGAIN. The NDC is Pathetic. They dont WISH ANYTHING GOOD for GHANA. They Lack People with CRITICAL and INETELLECTUAL MINDS. All they KNOW is HURLING INSULTS, VIOLENCE and PROPAGANDA. Never AGAIN MAHAMA and the CLUELESS, CORRUPT and INCOMPETENT Party of an NDC.
THE STATEMENT OF ALLOTEY IS EQUIVALENT TO DECLARATION THAT NOBODY IS CORRUPT IN GHANA. ARE YOU OK, ALLOTEY, FOR SUCH A CLAIM. YOU MIGHT BE TALKING TOO MUCH AND LOOSING YOUR BEARING.
The internet is too slow in Accra. On MTN 4G, the highest speed I get is 480Kbps (60 Kilobytes/sec), while on Vodafone Ghana, the average is about 3.2Mbps (400 Kilobytes per second). With this speed it will take you 4 hours to download a 5GB file on Vodafone, and 23 hours to download a 5GB file on MTN. The average internet speed in America is 32.89Mbps (4 Megabytes per second). With this speed, it will take you 20 min to download a 5GB file. We are at the dawn of 5G internet, which promises to provide an average internet speed of 1.5Gbps (200 Megabytes per second). Clearly, something needs to be done. If the internet is this slow in Accra, then in rural Ghana what would be the speed. Akufo-Addo must act now.
the man is making fun of the former commander in thiefff hahahahahah I laugh enter john ford inside, mahama was born a spoiled child who much interested in luxury so he will steeel to live up to expectation, the guy is filthy corrupt
Allotey must not hold brief for anybody because he was not there.
