During his recent visit to the Bosoma Market in the Sunyani and Techiman Municipalities of the Bono Region and Bono East regions respectively, the Presidential Candidate for the Movement for Change/Alliance for Revolutionary Change made two pledges aimed at bolstering the economic prospects of traders and the youth.
Addressing a large and enthusiastic gathering of traders, Alan Kyerematen committed to establishing a dedicated traders' bank.
This initiative, he said, is designed to provide essential capital to traders, enabling them to expand their businesses, invest in new opportunities, and enhance their livelihoods.
The proposed bank is envisioned as a pivotal tool for promoting entrepreneurship and stimulating local economies. By ensuring access to financial resources, the bank will play a crucial role in strengthening the domestic trade sector and contributing to the economic growth of the country.
Regarding the provision of modern markets for traders in Ghana, Mr Alan Kyerematen stated, “I will build modern markets to facilitate domestic trade for our traders.”
According to him, these markets will feature state-of-the-art clinics and schools for traders' children, as well as modern car parks to ease transportation.
He added that such infrastructure would significantly improve working conditions, enhance the health of traders and the education of their children, reduce transportation costs, and boost productivity and overall economic growth, creating a more vibrant trading environment.
Highlighting his track record in job creation, Kyerematen promised, "I will also work hard to create jobs for your children." He added that job creation is essential for increasing income levels, boosting consumer spending, and reducing poverty.
By focusing on providing employment opportunities for the children of traders, Mr Kyerematen's plan addresses the critical issue of unemployment. His experience and dedication to job creation indicate a strategic approach to fostering a prosperous future for the youth and ensuring economic stability.
Alan Kyerematen said his pledges are grounded in his extensive experience and proven track record in economic development and job creation. His detailed plans for market infrastructure, financial empowerment, job creation, and economic stability demonstrate his capability to address critical issues facing traders and the broader economy.
His commitment to these initiatives, coupled with past successes, makes a compelling case for him as a trustworthy leader capable of delivering on his promises.
Mr Alan Kyerematen's vision for the economic empowerment of traders and their families offers a promising future for the Sunyani Municipality and beyond. His strategic initiatives aim to create a thriving and resilient economy, benefiting all citizens.
