Alan Assures Western Region

Founder and leader of the Movement for Change, Mr. Alan Kyerematen, assured the Western Region that if he becomes president, there will be no mining in water bodies and forest reserves. He made this statement during his tour of markets in the region on Monday, April 15, 2024.

Mr. Kyerematen emphasized his government’s commitment to introducing a business model that would empower locals to participate meaningfully in the mining sector. He highlighted the importance of access to finance for small-scale miners to acquire and use sophisticated equipment for responsible mining practices.

The Movement for Change was formed due to Ghana’s political power alternating between the NPP and NDC every eight years for over 30 years, without significant progress, according to Mr. Kyerematen. He called for a change in voting habits to elect a new leader and promised to build a modern market for traders if elected.

Mr. Kyerematen acknowledged the challenges faced by Ghanaian traders, including the impact on their families when they don’t make sales. He pledged to establish a Traders Bank to provide loans and promised to address import VAT taxes, aiming to eliminate duties and taxes within the first two years of his presidency.

He urged voters to consider candidates who prioritize the interests of Ghanaians over party members, stating that Ghana would progress under his leadership.
