The founder and leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen has called on Ghanaians to choose a President based on his vision and integrity and not on the basis of partisanship.
According to Alan, rather than a new political party, Ghana needs a transformational leader.
He said the basis of the Movement is to mobilise the over 6.6 plus million and floating voters who identify with his vision to transform Ghana.
In a radio interview on Angel in Kumasi, the former NPP presidential aspirant noted that it was time for Ghana to go beyond NPP and NDC, hence his Great Transformational Plan (GTP).
He explained that the Movement for Change intends to form a union government and engage representatives of Political parties, religious bodies, professionals to push the transformational agenda for Ghana for the benefit of the youth in general.
The Independent Presidential aspirant said 60% of all ministerial appointments in his government would be drawn from the youth bracket and that there would also be a gender balance to balance the equation in his appointments.
“We are in a period of transformation”, he said adding that Ghana is about to experience the next major change after Ghana’s political independence in 1957”, he said.
The former Trade and Industry Minister said the proposed GTP hinges on 15 themes which pillars include stable economy, Industrialization, agriculture, energy, Health and Education to change Ghana.
Mr. Kyerematen pointed to industrialisation as the basis of his approach to job creation to match with advanced countries like America, China, Japan, Germany, France, South Korea and India that focused on industrialization to move their countries forward.
He, however, noted that the economy must at all times be strong to support industrialization and agriculture, hence the need to promote industrialization through adequate funding.
