The former Trades and Industry Minister promised to create more industrial jobs when he becomes President of Ghana.
He said, fulfilling this promise will be his priority as he seeks to cut down on unemployment in the country.
“The free SHS is allowing several people to be educated but after the free SHS, what must happen is that they must be employed but where is the work to be done? It is this problem that I want to solve…,” he pledged in Twi.
Mr. Kyeremanten told Ark News that, most market centers are now experiencing a downturn as traders lament a significant decline in sales.
The founder of Movement for Change attributed the decline in sales to the challenging economic conditions in the country, which have constrained consumer spending.
Thus, Mr Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen pledged to the market Queens of restoring confidence in the Ghanaian economy if elected.
He proceeded to address traders of Nana Bosoma Market.
Mr. Kyerematen articulated a comprehensive plan to enhance market infrastructure across the country citing that, every district capital will benefit an ultramodern market facility.
The leader of Movement for Change told Kaakyire Kwasi Afari of Ark FM that, each of the market will have certain facilities like clinics, childcare centres and lorry stations.
Thus, he promised to redevelop Nana Bosoma market in Sunyani into an ultramodern one to befit the regional capital should he become president.
Hon. Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten reiterated his commitment to establish a Traders’ Bank to support traders in the country to improve their activities.
He said the growth and development of the country largely depended on the success of businesses, and for that matter, traders.
