Independent Presidential Candidate and Leader of the Movement for Change, Mr. John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has described his record while in service for the Akufo Addo led government as distinguished.

According to the Movement for Change leader, he was able to help the Akufo-Addo government to implement the most successful developmental programme of the government.

Mr. Alan added that, before resigning as the Trades Minister, the Industrialization Campaign he was championing as sector minister, saw to the establishment of 296 factories that were at various stages of completion.

Speaking on the One District One Factory (1D1F) agenda on TV3's "Hot Issues", monitored by Peacefmonline.com, the former Trade Minister said that the 1D1F initiative that he introduced when serving in the Akufo-Addo government is the most innovative programme in the country’s industrial transformation.

"The most innovative programme in industrial transformation, it was a big success, the president speaks about it, the vice president speaks about it.

“But we didn’t optimise the deployment of resources, which could have made it even more successful. This is probably the best programme this government can boast of. Before I exited, we had 296 factories at different stages of implementation,” he added.

He therefore gave the assurance that “If I am president I would prioritize, for example, the implementation of the 1d1F because that is where the jobs are coming from, you ensure that you prioritize the deployment of resources to the areas you can optimise the most benefits. If you audit my record, it is a very distinguished record.
