The leader and founder of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen, says a future government under his leadership will enroll teachers at Arabic schools (Makaranta) on a government salary scheme.
At the launch of Zumunta, a Zongo wing of the Movement for Change, Alan Kyerematen criticized the NDC and NPP for failing to develop Zongo communities despite receiving substantial support from them.
He was ushered into Darkoman in the Ablekuma North Constituency amidst a swarm of supporters.
He was in the constituency to meet with Chiefs and Imams, as well as local residents, to rally support ahead of the December 7 polls.
The electorates present expressed strong support for Alan’s candidacy, claiming to be tired of the duopoly of the NDC and NPP.
Leaders of parties and movements that have allied with the Movement for Change took turns appealing to voters to support Alan in order to realize his vision for Ghana.
Former Greater Accra Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC) Bala Salifu Maikankan who is now the coordinator of Zongo communities of the Movement for Change told the potential voters to ignore the promises by the two major political parties since they have failed to use the chances given them by Ghanaians to impact their lives.
Akwasi Addai Odike said a vote for Dr Bawumia is a vote for people like President Akufo-Addo and Garby Asare Otchere Darko hence, Ghanaians must vote them out of power.
Alan Kyerematen stated that his government, if elected, will implement interventions that will benefit all Zongo dwellers.
He said key among the interventions is to place Arabic school teachers under the Ghana Education Service and pay them salary for their services.
He expressed disappointment that the two major political parties in the country, the NDC and NPP, have failed to improve the fortunes of Zongo communities despite the substantial votes they receive from these areas.
He also noted that under his administration, the Hajj Board will no longer be composed of political appointees.
“We will place chiefs of Zongo communities on the Hajj board so they can protect the interest of the Zongo people. I don’t see why the board is always a composition of political appointees” Alan noted.
