National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, is not giving former Trade Minister, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen a slack following his decision to resign from the governing New Patriotic Party and attempt the presidency as an independent candidate.

Sammy Gyamfi in a post on social media on Monday said Mr. Kyerematen is not a viable alternative just as the governing party.

“The point has to be made forcefully, that Alan is not a viable alternative to the failed incumbent NPP government. As a Cabinet Minister responsible for Trade and Industry and a member of the Economic Management team from 2017-2023, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen

actively participated in the destruction of the economy into the mess it is today.”

He called out Alan Kyerematen for abandoning the Komenda Sugar Factory to rot for almost six years.

“Under his watch, the Komenda Sugar Factory was abandoned to rot for almost six (6) years. Growth of the manufacturing sector declined significantly and businesses were suffocated by the bad policies of his Ministry and government leading to several job losses,” he asserted.
