Generally, those who requested the project and the project team should agree to all terms in the project scope statement before actual project work begins. I think the project manager - even in the case you described - should be the first one to draft or lead the process of drafting the project scope statement. Then it's up to all the key stakeholders you mentioned to agree to that statement. Just my thoughts.

I concur with Brad.
The PM writes the scope statement but with input from the Sponsor & key stateholders. Then, the sponsor will sign off on the scope statement to approve it before work is commenced.
