Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen has outlined ambitious plans for Ghana’s future, emphasizing a robust anti-corruption strategy and economic revitalization.
He proposed replacing the Office of the Special Prosecutor with an independent Anti-corruption Overlord, consolidating fragmented anti-corruption laws under one comprehensive document.
Kyerematen’s manifesto, the Great Transformational Plan (GTP), promises to prioritize the needs of vulnerable groups, including better support for persons living with disabilities.
He criticized District Assemblies for not releasing sufficient Common Fund allocations to these groups.
Additionally, he aims to significantly reduce Ghana’s debt-to-GDP ratio from 62.7% to 5%, signaling his vision for economic recovery and national development.
He said, “It is very important that we review the existing programmes. Governments will say we have programmes for persons living with disabilities but how far has this programmes helped them?” He asked.
“Currently, the Special Prosecutor derives its powers from the Attorney-General which is not helping to support the powers of the Special Prosecutor, so we are proposing that authorities assigned to the Overlord is not linked to the Attorney-General and so we are creating a whole new institution for dealing with corruption which is different from what we have now,” Alan Kyerematen added.
