Ghana Union of Traders Association(GUTA) has heaped kind words on the former Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyerematen.
The union described him as a national icon, a statesman and a global asset.
With over 10 years of service at the Trade and Industry Ministry under two governments, Alan Kyerematen surprisingly sent in an official resignation letter on January 5, 2023, to end his stay at the Ministry.

As the official mouthpiece of the Traders Union in Ghana, the leadership of GUTA issued a press statement celebrating the Industrial expert at the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
An official communique from the leadership of GUTA described the outgoing Trade and Industry Minister as an excellent leader, and a political genius.
“The Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) is deeply saddened by the news of the sudden resignation of the Trade and Industry Minister, Hon. Alan Kyerematen.
“All those who know him and happen to have come in contact with this affable gentleman will attest to the fact that he is an astute politician, a very humble public servant, versed in his area of duty, coupled with excellent human relations which have endeared him to all who have happened to meet him on matters of trade and industry, especially, those of us in the private sector.
“We can confidently say that he has performed excellently and left an indelible footprint that will ever remain in our memories. So we see him as an asset not only to Ghana but also to the sub-regional and continental blocs, as well as the entire globe”, parts of the Press Statement from GUTA reads.
