He assured the crowd that comprehensive solutions to these issues are embedded in his Great Transformational Plan (GTP), positioning it as the only detailed, pragmatic blueprint aimed at tackling the root causes of these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alan noted that he stands apart as the sole politician who has boldly presented practical solutions to Ghana\u2019s most pressing issues, further building confidence among supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alan highlighted that his approach would centre on an agricultural revolution, industrial transformation, and tourism promotion, which he believes are essential to job creation and economic stability. \u201cThrough a robust investment in agriculture and local industries, we will create sustainable employment opportunities, particularly for the youth,\u201d he explained. His plan also emphasizes that boosting domestic production and reducing reliance on imports will help ease the pressure on the cedi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ose-youtube ose-uid-c721805f6c55a9f7ea1087e56c33394e ose-embedpress-responsive\" style=\"width:400px; height:400px; max-height:400px; max-width:100%; display:inline-block;\" data-embed-type=\"Youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iS8khrbduoo?feature=oembed&color=red&rel=0&controls=1&start=&end=&fs=0&iv_load_policy=0&autoplay=0&mute=0&modestbranding=0&cc_load_policy=1&playsinline=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media;accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;gyroscope;picture-in-picture clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen referrerpolicy=\"origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Touching on his plans to empower the youth, Alan expressed concern over the high youth unemployment rate, which has forced many into illegal mining, commonly known as Galamsey. He promised to create pathways for young Ghanaians to enter responsible small-scale mining through legal channels. \u201cI will cease the licenses of those politicians who have been using the youth and give them to the youth to establish small-scale mining companies that will be owned by them,\u201d he assured. He added that the government would provide mining equipment and machines on a work-and-pay basis, allowing young entrepreneurs to establish themselves in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former Trade and Industry Minister outlined policies aimed at enabling young people to establish their own businesses. Alan assured the public that his government would support young entrepreneurs with funding, business development training, and access to markets to grow their enterprises. \u201cDue to the various youth empowerment policies, it will be difficult for the youth to complete school without securing jobs or self-employment opportunities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Kyerematen also made clear his position on political inclusivity, announcing that his government would prioritize a national unity approach by appointing the most qualified individuals across political lines to key positions. \u201cIn my government, if you are NDC, NPP, or someone who doesn\u2019t do politics but can do the job, I will appoint you to be part of it,\u201d he declared, emphasizing that competency would be the primary consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key promise in his speech was that job opportunities would be accessible to all, without political affiliations. \u201cIn my government, you don\u2019t need a political party card before you get a job to do. All you need is the Ghana Card,\u201d he assured the youth, committing to remove barriers that limit access to employment based on party loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alan\u2019s proposed policies, including youth empowerment, an emphasis on agriculture and industry, and support for responsible small-scale mining, align with his GTP. By addressing the root causes of economic instability, Mr Kyerematen believes his administration can set the nation on a sustainable path to prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a clear objective to address the current exchange rate and inflation crisis, Alan\u2019s vision reverberates with a nation yearning for economic relief and sustainable development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bold assurance to Ghanaians, Alan Kyerematen has pledged to stabilize the economy and reduce the exchange rate to below 5 cedis if elected President.
