Ghana will process 60% of raw materials when I become president – Alan

Alan Kyerematen, who last week resigned from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and declared intention to run the 2024 presidential election as an independent candidate says Ghana will process 60 per cent of its raw materials when he is elected president.

Value addition to raw materials would not only create job opportunities but would also boost Ghana’s economy through increased foreign exchange.

He said as an independent president, he would ensure an inclusive government that would help to propel Ghana’s development by tapping into the knowledge and experiences of persons from different backgrounds who are not necessarily affiliated with a political party.

Kyerematen said there are a number of people who would like to serve in a government that is not affiliated with any political party, stressing that since he was not vying for the presidency on the ticket of any political party, he offers that neutral ground for all Ghanaians, both home and abroad to contribute to the country’s development.

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

Kyerematen also indicated that his government would bring down Ghana’s debt.
