Former Attorney General & Minister for Justice in the erstwhile Mahama administration, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong after news of the airbus bribery scandal broke, issued a statement denying claims that Airbus paid bribes to some government officials in their tenure.

Part of the statement which was on NDC's letterhead said: "the reports alleging that Airbus SE paid bribes during the administration of President John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama are false, misleading and do not reflect the Approved Judgment. Indeed, the Approved Judgment of the Crown Court of Southwark approving the DPA between Airbus and the UK Serious Fraud Office does not allege that any payment was made by Airbus to any Ghanaian Government official."

One may wonder why the former AG responded to the scandal by issuing the statement on the party's official letterhead, when she is not a National Executive Committee (NEC) member.
