NDC’s Fritz Baffour slams gov’t over Gitmo saga

Fritz Baffour, the ruling party's MP for Ablekuma South has taken a swipe at his government over the poor handling of the Guantanamo Bay ex-detainees saga. Two ex-inmates of the US fortified penitentiary have been relocated to the West African country over a period of two years under a special programme. Their presence has heightened fears of Ghanaians including the Christian Council of Ghana and the Catholic Bishops Conference among others who have impressed on the John Mahama-led administration to send them back. Speaking on the issue, the lawmaker, who is the chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Defense and Interior noted: “Ghanaians in the main are not happy and my Government did not handle the process well, however good intentioned.”
