Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress [NDC], Samuel Gyamfi, has ripped into Ghanaians accusing them of easily entertaining frivolous issues without recourse to the facts.
The outspoken NDC communicator was speaking to the brouhaha generated by the current Airbus bribery saga.
Reports of a bribery scandal emerged over the weekend citing Ghana, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Taiwan as destinations where Airbus, the largest aerospace multinational in Europe, admitted that it paid huge bribes in order to secure contracts.
The Crown Court at Southwark in the United Kingdom passed judgment on 31st January 2020, between the Director of the Serious Fraud Office and Airbus SE, in which the European multinational aerospace corporation was fined $3.9 billion for the payment of bribes to secure deals in the five countries named Ghana.
The London High Court found Airbus guilty and imposed a fine of three billion pounds (£3bn) as penalties.
Airbus was charged with five counts of failing to prevent bribery, having used a network of secret agents to pay large-scale backhanders to officials in foreign countries to land high-value contracts.
In the case of Ghana, the operations were reported to have taken place between 2009 and 2015; during which period John Dramani Mahama served as Vice President and then later as President.
According to the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO), Airbus hired and disguised payments to a close relative of a government official in Ghana with no aerospace experience in connection with a sale of military transport planes.
Incidently, no names were however mentioned in the report.
Clearly unimpressed with the finger-pointing directed at his party's flagbearer, Sammy Gyamfi in a fit of anger exploded that there is no credible facts to conclude the ‘Government Official 1’ cited in the airbus ruling was former President John Dramani Mahama as being bandied about by the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP].
“Let me be very blunt, Ghanaians entertain useless issues,” he told Akwasi Aboagye, host of NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ in an interview.

I am abit worried on the destructive path this young man is being led into..Beyond our quest and hunger to lay hold onto power..it should take some bit of circumspection especially in engaging the public..Now,all young politician should note like the ancient book espouses the wise sees danger and moves away from it but the scornful ignores and they are destroyed..Clearly,there's alot to ponder over..perhaps you may want to reflect on the sad demise of giants such as Pv Obeng,Kwesi Amissah Arthur et al and how we ought to make drastic changes in our operational standards..You are gaining notoriety for ruthless insults much more on the elderly..Like Solomon intimates "vanity upon vanity is Vanity"..If you are reading this piece..kindly depart from this posture..it will certainly not end well..
