lot", Mr. Kyeremanten said, adding that he had adopted
"effective campaign strategy, efficient organisation and
good quality message to make him the best choice of the

experience and credibility of all the aspirants; none of
them could match him in the struggle for the mantle of
leadership of the NPP.
The NPP presidential aspirant said he would give priority
attention to industrialisation with a bias for agriculture,
information and communication technology, infrastructure and
tourism development if he became president.
"The people must choose a president who can add value to
what had been achieved during the past seven years", he

capitalisation that would make poverty a thing of the past".
On the current situation about the Presidents Special
Initiative (PSI), Mr Kyeremanten said the programme was one
of the proud achievements of the government to expand the
economy even though "some people only re-echo negative
comments about it".
He commended the media for its contribution towards the
successful implementation of government programmes to
enhance development but cautioned practitioners to be
circumspect in their reportage so as not to infringe on the
rights and independence of individuals.
