Government could withdraw the refugee status of the two Guantanamo Bay detainees and return them if their continuous stay is not in the interest of the country, former Deputy Attorney General under the Mahama administration, Dominic Ayine has suggested.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”x2Un4wvKNaIAAbmdilKzb0jgDGPT0Stt”]His suggestion comes on the back of Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey\u2019s assertion that the government has limited options because of the refugee status conferred on them under the Mahama administration in July 2016.<\/p>\n
The Minister had stated that, the agreement signed between the government of Ghana and United States of America, indicated that, while the US has no obligation to the detainees after the initial two-year agreement, Ghana has the responsibility to integrate the two into the Ghanaian society.<\/p>\n
