Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, has announced that the majority of ministerial positions within his government will be occupied by the youth.
He revealed that those between the ages of 25 and 45 years will make up 60 per cent of his ministers.
In an interview on TV3’s New Day show on Wednesday, September 27, he said; “The commitment I want to make it that at least 60 percent of ministerial appointments will be made for young people between the ages of let’s say 25 or 23 to 40, 45.”
According to the former Trade Minister, it is his dream to have a cabinet dominated by young people.
“That is the kind of cabinet I’ll like to have,” he said.
Also, Mr Kyerematen announced his plans to consolidate some of the ministries to enable him to run a lean government.
He assures that his government will be one that comprises all competent individuals, irrespective of whatever political party they affiliate with.
In a Twitter post on Tuesday, September 26, the former Trade Minister pledged that “when I am elected as President, Ministers and other key Government officials will be appointed from ALL PARTIES, and shall also include individuals who are APOLITICAL but have a demonstrable and proven track record of performance, in their field of specialization.”
He also noted that he will promote the establishment of a Government of National Unity, “which will include people from all walks of life, irrespective of their political, religious, and ethnic affiliations: rich or poor, able-bodied or physically challenged, young or old, women and men.”
Mr Kyerematen has therefore called on every Ghanaian citizen to join him in his movement.
