Former Minister of Trade and Industry Alan Kyerematen has finally declared his presidential ambition. According to Kyerematen, this ambition has resulted from a firm and abiding love for the nation, as well as an ardent passion to see Ghanaians prosper.
At the fully attended Accra press conference, Kyerematen promised he would work for economic growth that ensured an improved standard of living for all citizens: "My journey in public service has always been driven by a passion for uplifting our people and making sure opportunities exist for all." He added that he is going to make sure that no Ghanaian is left behind in the pursuit of development.
Kyerematen's political life has been a long journey through service in the development of trade and economic policy. He has been instrumental in a number of initiatives related to strengthening the economy of Ghana, which includes promoting local industries and improving the state of trade relations. It is his firm conviction that these experiences, added to his vision, make him the better leader to guide the country toward sustainable growth.
He explained in the address his vision for Ghana in areas involving education, healthcare, and job creation. He promised to institute policies that would favor the youths whom he considered the future of the country. "Investing in our young people is investing in our future," he said, adding that education and vocational training would be at the top of his agenda.
Kyerematen further stressed the importance of unity in Ghanaian politics. "It's time we moved beyond divisive politics and worked together for the common good," he said, calling for a collective effort and address of challenges facing the country.
This, indeed, has generated quite a buzz in both the political circles and amongst the electorate. Passion for Ghana, as well as Kyerematen's commitment to public service, no doubt will be an important element of his forthcoming campaigns, as he prepares to navigate the coming political competition with time heading towards the opening of the upcoming elections.
Well, now that his candidature is official, the onus lies with Alan Kyerematen to inspire the nation with leadership that places value on prosperity and unity.
