The revelation was questioned by Member of Parliament for Asawase, Hon Muntaka Mubarak, who could not understand how a 4-year-old in class one would enter into Secondary School at age nine.

Minister designate for Trade and Industry, Alan Kyeremateng has revealed he started class one when he was aged only four years.

Answering questions from the vetting committee of parliament, the man popularly known as Alan ‘Cash’ in Ghanaian politics said his early enrollment into education meant that even at age nine, he was already in Secondary School.

Muntaka queried: “When I look at your date of birth, it tells me that you started class one at [age] 4 right?” Before adding that “how possible was it for you (Alan) to arrive at Secondary School at [age] 9?”

The Minister designate, however, responded that the facts stated in his CV are “undisputed”.

“The statement I made is in reference to the fact that I started class one at [age] 4 and I said I went to Secondary School at nine. So I started [class one] at [age] nine which is not disputed,” Alan Kyeremateng said.
