Member of Parliament for Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has said he has pieces of evidence that validate the bribery claims being made against the John Mahama administration regarding the airbus deal.
According to Mr Agyapong, the revelations concerning the Airbus deal are but a tip of the iceberg, threatening to come up with more damning reports which prove how corrupt the Mahama administration was.
You even put this Airbus scandal issue aside, there were some very dirty corrupt activities at Ghana Gas and GNPC under the NDC regime and very soon I will put all the evidence out. You will be amazed at the corrupt acts they (NDC) engaged in,” he alleged on Accra-based radio station, Neat FM monitored by Adomonline.com.
