On his latest campaign trail, Presidential candidate for the Movement for Change/Alliance for Revolutionary Change Alan Kyerematen, made a stop in Sunyani to engage with the vibrant market women and the broader community.
This visit, however, was not just about economic pledges but a firm stand against one of Ghana's most pressing issues, corruption.
In an interview with Ark FM, Mr Alan Kyerematen passionately reiterated his unyielding stance on corruption, a canker he believes has severely hindered the nation’s progress.
“The fight against corruption starts at the top,” he declared. “I have never been corrupt and will never be corrupt. My record is open for every Ghanaian to scrutinise.”
Alan Kyerematen's words were more than just rhetoric; they were a rallying cry for a new era of transparency and accountability.
He emphasised the urgent need for a leader who not only embodies integrity but also enforces it among the ranks of government.
“We need a leader who is not just free from corruption but one who will have zero tolerance for any form of corruption within his administration,” he said.
Central to his Great Transformational Plan, the presidential candidate proposed a bold and comprehensive reform: the consolidation of all anti-corruption institutions into a single, formidable body.
This new entity would be led by a corruption Czar, endowed with independent prosecutorial powers, free from the influence of the Attorney General.
“This Czar will have the authority to prosecute anyone, including the president,” he stated, underscoring his commitment to impartial justice.
But Mr Kyerematen’s vision extends beyond institutional reform. He envisages an active role for the citizenry in this crusade against corruption. By encouraging citizens to report suspicious activities and providing incentives for information, he aims to foster a culture of accountability.
“Lifestyle audits of government officials will be routine,” he explained, “to ensure that no one lives beyond their legitimate means.”
Recognising the pivotal role of civil society organisations (CSOs) in maintaining government oversight, Mr Kyerematen pledged robust support to these watchdog entities.
“CSOs will be empowered to play their roles effectively, ensuring that the government and its appointees adhere strictly to the law,” he promised.
Alan Kyerematen’s campaign in Sunyani wasn’t just another political tour; it was a clarion call for integrity, transparency, and a collective effort to root out corruption. His unwavering stance and detailed strategies offer a beacon of hope for a nation yearning for honest leadership.
As the presidential race heats up, Mr Kyerematen’s message is clear: under his leadership, Ghana will not only rise economically but will also stand tall as a beacon of transparency and integrity.
The people of Sunyani, and indeed the entire nation, are watching closely, inspired by a leader who dares to dream of a corruption-free Ghana.
