Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen has indicated that he represents the neutrality many Ghanaians seek in order to contribute their quota to help make the country a better place.
He says there are many people who want to serve in government with their expertise but do not want to be associated with either of the two political parties that have hijacked the presidency with their duopoly since Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
According to him, contesting the December 2024 polls as an independent candidate will serve the interest of many Ghanaians who have the urge to serve the nation in various capacities but cannot do so because they are apolitical and do not want to be tagged with any political party.
The man who broke away from the New Patriotic Party on September 25 to contest the 2024 elections as an independent candidate was commenting on value addition to Ghana’s raw materials on Silver TV when he made the comments. He said Ghana will process 60 per cent of its raw materials when he is elected president.
To him, the lack of value addition to Ghana’s raw materials serve as a major factor causing the country to lose huge sums of foreign exchange.
Value addition to raw materials would not only create job opportunities but would also boost Ghana’s economy through increased foreign exchange, said the former Trade and Industry minister.
He also promised an all-inclusive government if he is given the nod in 2024.
Touching on some of his major political policies, the Movement for Change founder, said his government would ensure the stability of Ghana’s currency, pointing out that without a stable currency, there is nothing one could do to turn the country’s economy around.
He added that he would ensure that inflation and interest rates were brought down and also help reduce the country’s debt.
