The leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, has unveiled a plan to bring together a diverse group of 30 Members of Parliament (MPs) as part of his vision for a Government of National Unity. Speaking during a media engagement on August 13, Kyerematen emphasized that these MPs would be selected not solely based on their political party affiliations, but on their individual records and capacities to contribute effectively to national governance. He acknowledged that these parliamentarians might currently belong to different political parties, including the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). However, his plan is to bring them together under a unified government where their loyalty to party lines takes a back seat to their commitment to national service.
"We are targeting about 30 members of parliament," Kyerematen stated. "These are parliamentarians from both the NDC and NPP, who are just waiting for me to become president so they can be part of a government that serves the nation above all else."
He envisions these MPs as key players who, despite their political backgrounds, will work collaboratively to advance the country's development agenda under his leadership.
"It's about recognizing those with the capacity to serve, regardless of their party," Kyerematen explained. "They will be selected not on the basis of their parties but on the basis of their own records and capacities."
This approach, Kyerematen believes, will ensure that the Government of National Unity is composed of individuals who have proven themselves through their service and are selected based on merit rather than party politics.
"Imagine the joy of being singled out to serve in a government that prioritizes national interests over party loyalty," he remarked, highlighting the importance of merit-based appointments in his proposed administration. By doing so, he aims to foster a governance system that prioritizes the nation's interests, bringing together the best minds from across the political spectrum.
"This is the way forward for Ghana-to have a government that truly represents the people by bringing together the best, regardless of political affiliation," Kyerematen concluded.
