A member of the NDC legal team, Abraham Amaliba is challenging the government to make where the two ex-Guantanamo Bay detainees live in Ghana public.
He said this would serve as a proof to the position being held by government that the Mahama-led government was not open to Ghanaians by keeping the agreement to host the two secret.
The two – Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby – arrived in Ghana January 2016 under a controversial arrangement between the governments of Ghana and United States of America, which expired on January 6, 2016.
Mr. Abraham Amaliba insisted on Saturday’s edition of TV3’s New Day that details of the agreement between the two governments were viewed as classified information, meaning everything was considered confidential.
Since the Akufo-Addo-led government, he said, claims it is not hiding anything from Ghanaians as was done by the previous administration, ” I dare them to make the agreement public”.
He emphasised, “if they think that there is nothing to hide or keep as a secret, I dare them to show Ghanaians where this people live in Ghana”.
The legal practitioner demanded, “Ghanaians must know, if things relating to them are not secret”.
Mr. Amaliba also revealed that when the issue of the ex-detainees were sent to the Supreme Court, it was heard in camera that after the expiration of the two-year period in Ghana, the parties were to renegotiate their stay or send them back.
Nana Fredua Agyaman Ofori-Atta, 2nd Vice Chairman of the NPP in the Eastern Region, however maintained that the issue of the GITMO-2 was considered sensitive as a result of “ignorance or otherwise”.
He squarely blamed it on the previous government’s “poor handling” of their arrival, stressing “everything was held in secrecy”.

Amaliba, your mouth looks like something between the legs of Lourdina Mahama.
What do we gain for insulting people? has Abraham Amaliba insulted anybody? No. As a Ghanaian he only expressed his opinion and if you don't agree with him you can bring out your counter argument in a more matured and concise manner as a civilized citizen. Why do you have to insult him. Your insults cannot prevent him or anybody who share the same views to express them.Nobody on this earth is the repository of knowledge and wisdom.Both NPP and NDC politicians are brothers and sisters. They argue in parliament without insults.Both Parties have people of high intelligentsia. Both parties are vulnerable and liable to err and every Ghanaian has the right to criticize them when they go out of the way and we can do that without using uncivilized words.A word to the wise is enough. Thank you all.
WHEN FRESH LEAVES ARE FALLING, WHAT IS THE USE OF DRY LEAVES?
Aponkye, go and ask Mahama your & party that brought them to Ghana. Did you have to wait till this government came to power to ask this ***barred word*** question when your party brought them in
look at this ed10t. u think u can infect us with ur stu1>d1>ty. u just said the information is classified and u are asking the govt to disclose the information. are u not a f00>l? u are a big f00>l my friend. who went into the agreement in the first place and who made it classified? why must a whole govt go into such an agreement without consulting with parliament first if you are not hiding something? we dont want to know where they leave, what we want to know is why u brought them into the country in the first place. who ever signed this guy's law certificate must be arrested
no wonder he is an ndc lawyer. who in his right senses will go for this guy us his/her council? U must be a cr1m1nal to do so, bcos the guy looks like a cr1m1nal. why will the ndc go into such an agreement in the first place? only a cr1m1nal will go into such an agreement when it can be made confidential. I am sure the ndc was being blackmailed by the US at the time. the truth will sure come out some day
Does this lawyer win cases in court? He is so warped in his thinking I can't understand.
An inventory of the kind of lawyers in the NDC are shocking. Look at the following; Abraham Amaliba, Chris Akumeh and David Anan. All three are damn use*less. It was Amaliba who said he was waiting to listen to Tsatsu Tsikata perform at the supreme court and then he would be ready to die. Can this 1diot be a lawyer too?
Mahama,one ffoooôlish ex president who is wicked and greedy than Satan himself...he is forver cursed for bringing these people into this country.Mahama,you will never rule this country again in your life...incompetent heartléss mammal.
NDC must first show us where the money they received from the US is being kept.... Mahama is keeping the money in Dubai.... John Ford Mahama is more dangerous than Sani Abacha....
