Private legal practitioner and social commentator, Maurice Ampaw, says the founder and leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, is not a politician.
According to the controversial lawyer, Alan Kyerematen lacks the qualities needed to be a political figure.
Speaking to host Bonohene Baffour Awuah on "Ghana Kasa" on Kasapa 102.5FM Thursday, Maurice Ampaw stated that Alan Kyerematen should have been a career diplomat or a pastor.
"As for Alan Kyerematen, I feel sorry for him. The reason why I feel sorry for him is that he's not a politician. He looks like someone who has been called by God to be a pastor or a diplomat. He's been cast in the mold of the likes of Kofi Annan. That is why the Asantehene described him as a gentleman. Alan is not a politician, not one bit. Someone who wants to be president: you were in Akufo-Addo’s government for seven years, you were first in the Kufuor government, and you have believed in NPP policies and implemented them in the Trade and Industry sector. You go for an election, and after you are defeated, you now realize that you were in the wrong place."
He added, "After leaving the NPP, you have also surrounded yourself with people who are bitter, people who have been rejected by the NPP, or who feel that they were not treated well; those are the ones who have surrounded you. You have associated with them, and they are not channeling anything but bitterness. He doesn’t know where he stands, whether to join the opposition or be anti-opposition. What even makes it clear that Alan is not a politician is those he’s formed an alliance with. Failed politicians like Odike, even his own party that he formed, he was kicked out of it. How do you form an alliance with such a person?" he asked.
