Government has called for calm following the Supreme Court's ruling that the admission of two former Guantanamo Bay detainees by the previous government was unconstitutional.
According to government, there is no cause for alarm as it is taking steps to comply with the ruling of the apex court.
The two, Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih Al-Dhuby, from Yemen who had been detained for 14 years by the US government over their links to the Al-Qaeda terrorist group, arrived in the country last year after negotiations with the then John Mahama administration.
Their arrival sparked public outcry after it emerged that Parliament had no knowledge of it, leading two private citizens, Henry Nana Boakye and Margaret Bamful, who felt the administration had breached Article 75 of the 1992 constitution by not sending the agreement to Parliament for ratification to file a suit at the Supreme Court.
At its sitting on Thursday, the seven-member panel chaired by newly sworn Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo, upheld the claim of the petitioners.
In a majority decision which had only Justice William Atuguba dissenting, the Court ordered that government should take steps to ratify the agreement concerning the two within three months send them back.
In a statement released last night acknowledging the Supreme Court's decision, govenrment has asked for calm and assured that prompt steps will be taken to address the consequential orders.
"Government wants to assure the nation that the ex-detainees who have been comporting themselves since their arrival in Ghana continue to be under the supervision of the security agencies", the brief statement partly read.
