The leader of the Movement for Change, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, has urged Ghanaians to consider his message of restoring the economy based on his record and credibility.

According to him, there is a tendency for people to dismiss politicians without considering their background and what they have done for themselves and in public office.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, February 3, the independent presidential candidate stated that Ghanaians may have had the opportunity to listen to politicians saying the same thing over and over again, but the crucial consideration should be who the messenger is.

"It is not about the message; it is about who is the messenger. Who are you listening to? That is what is important. I cannot hold brief for what other politicians have said in the past.

"I want people to listen to me and understand what I'm saying based on my own record and credibility," he said.

Mr Kyerematen emphasised that he has a distinguished career both locally and internationally, and it is based on his professional record that he makes representations about what he can do for the country.
