Accra, Ghana – Yesterday Evening: In a fiery address that electrified the nation, Alan Kyerematen unleashed a scathing attack on Ghana’s political duopoly, branding the NDC and NPP as the architects of a failed state. Speaking at the “Media Encounter With Alan Kyerematen,” the seasoned politician captured the collective frustration of millions of Ghanaians, declaring that the time for change is now—or never.
“From every corner of this country, our people are crying out for change,” Kyerematen began, his words cutting through the air like a razor. “For 32 long years, the NDC and NPP have held this nation hostage, promising transformation but delivering nothing but stagnation. They have failed us, and the people know it.”
Kyerematen didn’t mince words as he laid bare the grim reality of Ghana’s current state. “We are in the grip of an economic crisis so severe that we’ve had to go to the IMF for the 17th time. And what do we have to show for it? Flickering lights, dry taps, empty stomachs, and a nation that can’t even provide basic shelter for its most vulnerable. The justification for these two parties to remain in power is dead—buried beneath the weight of their own failures.”
The speech grew even more intense as Kyerematen highlighted the staggering economic mismanagement that has plagued the nation for over three decades. “After 33 years, we are still grappling with a currency in freefall, sky-high inflation, and macroeconomic indicators that scream distress. What more evidence do we need to finally admit that the NDC and NPP have failed to deliver anything remotely resembling progress?”
But Kyerematen didn’t stop there. He challenged the media, urging them to rise to their role as the fourth estate and hold the political establishment accountable. “As distinguished men and women of the media, it is your duty to shape public opinion and demand substance from those who wish to lead. The time for slogans and sensationalism is over. We must demand real solutions, real leadership, and a real break from the past.”
Kyerematen’s words were not just a critique; they were a battle cry. A call to every Ghanaian who has grown tired of broken promises and unfulfilled dreams. The message was clear: the old guard has failed, and it’s time for a revolution—a revolution that will finally bring the change this nation so desperately needs.
