All countries in the world are grouped into 3 categories namely; DEVELOPED, DEVELOPING and Least Developed Countries (LCD).

The common basis for the categorization is the SIZE and PERFORMANCE of the ECONOMY.

The bigger the economy of a country, the bigger the size of it’s business sector. The economies of the US, Japan, Germany, Canada etc that are big are also the countries that have bigger business size of economy.This therefore makes it imperative that leadership of any country must be fronted by those with the know-how of modern ways of turning around economies through business development.

If anybody aspires to lead any country particularly in Africa, the prospective LEADER of the country must know how to develop and grow the business sector of the country for the generation of local tax revenues and export sector revenues by way of foreign currency. The candidates that will aspire to lead Ghana in 2023, must therefore pass the litmus test of demonstrating beyond all reasonable doubts that they have what it takes to develop the economy by promoting the business sector or the private sector. It is only by vigorously enhancing the fortunes of the business or the private sector that the country could reap the much needed benefits and also deal with the huge problems confronting us as a people ie the high unemployment,infrastructural deficit,high cost of living etc.

Without the knowledge, skills, competence and verifiable record of national business sector development the nation will be condemned to BORROW and SPEND for the purpose of balancing annual budgets and finanacing development projects such as infrastructure and services like Education and Health.

The scheme of things, the national democratic congress has settled on the former president and the new patriotic party has also settled on the sitting President. With the benefit of their performance, it makes the choice of who should lead the country come 2025, a much easier task. Alan Kyerematen is currently the only politician in Ghana who has the knowledge, skills, competence and proven track record of NATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT THEORY and PRACTICE and has also provided a clear Plan that is capable of enhancing the business sector.

His works as a Private consultant with Empretec where entrepreneurs were trained in Ghana, Enterprise Africa where many entrepreneurs across the continent were trained and as a minister where his policies has led to the establishment of One District One Factory, Africa Continental Free Trade Area, Automotive Assembling of by the leading automobile companies in the world and the development of export strategy for enhanced exports targeting close to $25billion by 2030, the electorate will be doing themselves and the unborn generation and our forebears,the greatest disservice by voting for any other candidate.Alan stands tall.
