Leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen has unveiled his vision for Ghana’s future, focusing on enhancing the fight against corruption and revitalizing the economy.
He proposed replacing the Office of the Special Prosecutor with an independent Anti-corruption Overlord and consolidating scattered anti-corruption laws into a single comprehensive framework.
Kyerematen’s manifesto, the Great Transformational Plan (GTP), underscored a commitment to prioritize the needs of vulnerable communities, particularly persons living with disabilities.
He criticized District Assemblies for inadequately allocating their Common Fund to support these groups.
Additionally, he aims to reduce Ghana’s debt-to-GDP ratio from 62.7% to 5%, highlighting his strategy for economic rejuvenation and national progress.
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.
