entry will yield significant strategic advantages
over our competitors.
35 EC Registration NDC Whereas we do not expect the Electoral Completed
(2020) Eventually Commissioner herself to blatantly cripple the
Becomes A NDC, we could deploy the other non-EC
Fringe Party functions, such as the need to maintain law and
order, using our people within the security
agencies to frustrate NDC supporters from either
registering or voting. Brian Acheampong would
be key in this endeavor.
 Before then we must have a critical evaluation of
our strengths and weaknesses to be well
positioned for the task ahead.

36 Kennedy A very good The Party must, as a matter of need and Completed
Agyapong asset plausibility defend him going into the 2020
elections. He has the utmost control over our
"action troopers" and all the former criminal
elements who are purposed for the final push. In
addition to his deep pocket, his financing of the
grassroots affirms our dire need of him at all cost
in the 2020 elections.
37 Kennedy Self-Confessed As a result, he must eventually be weaned off, as In progress
Agyapong Unbridled our project reaps dividends, to need less and less
Quest For of his funding. His self-confessed unbridled quest
Personal for personal wealth is a potential threat to
Wealth causing us to suffer needless exposure. It is
important for a dossier to be prepared on him
and deliberately leaked through our friends in the
opposition who will call for his prosecution.
Colonel Opoku is to revise the 2016 plan and
progress to his dossier for this purpose but
should not be filed under any official seals.
38 John Boadu Level Of His actions and inactions are a complete Completed
Competence definition of wealth accumulation agenda. His
blatant involvement in galamsey in the Wassa
area, if found, could be an embarrassing state of
affairs. The last report prepared by Dr. Amoako
Tuffuor affirms that fact as well as the revelation
about the monies he took from 183 candidates
for government appointments.

Unfortunately, his alcohol addiction and his

weakness regarding women makes him hugely
vulnerable. That notwithstanding, he has a rare
talent to churn out crazy ideas which yield
beneficial outcomes. He should only be watched
and shepherded to hand over to much more
competent person post the 2020 election. He has
very little to offer in the 2020 elections and there
is the need to import Agyarko, Papa Owusu
Ankomah and Kwabena Agyapong to paper over
potential flaws coming out of his actions.

39 Religion And Duncan Critically, Duncan Williams; His love for money is Completed
Chieftaincy Williams, not in doubt and material inducements and
Material commercial gains make him vulnerable to market
Inducements incentives. This means that he has a good nose
for the highest bidder. His relationship with
 leading members of the NDC is an open secret. It
is therefore important to encourage the EC Chair
to build better relations and frequent his place as
discreet as possible to seek spiritual directions
and make firm pledges of her commitment to a
transparent election, knowing very well that he
will further reassure the NDC establishment of
the honesty of the EC system. This will give them
the comfort we need in order to tame a potential
NDC aggressive posture towards the EC.
40 Religion And Bishop Charles He must be watched carefully. Our men within In progress
Chieftaincy Agyin Asare his inner circle have done pretty well with
image denting accurate briefs but it is time to adopt an open
muscular approach. The respect and esteem with
which he is held by other leading pastors may
need to be marred by recruiting other high
staged pastors to launch vile attacks in some
ingenious ways. However, the President must
desist from directly responding to him as advised
by our people within his inner circle.
41 Religion And Sam Korankye He is perhaps even more visibly a surrogate of In progress
Chieftaincy Ankrah- A the NDC, who has cleverly concealed this aspect
constant eye to appear as a national Christian hero. A constant
watch and eye watch and monitoring of this man is required
monitoring of with specific efforts to contain his commercial
this man interest which have been identified.
42 Religion And Pastor Mensa Even though sympathetic to us, information In progress
Chieftaincy Otabil- Even suggests that the closure of Capital Bank has
Though somehow affected his loyalty to Nana. Brother
Sympathetic Ken Ofori Atta's account of his demeanor on the
To Us night before the announcement of the closure of
Capital Bank indicates he was not too averse with
our decision. The strategic implication of Ken
meeting with the pastor and subsequent
feedback from his inner circle points to the
impression that he may, out of spite, opt for an
NDC replacement. Should that happen, it would
be seen as a declaration of war by one of our
own. We should be reminded that an insider
fighting you is more dangerous than the sworn
enemy. In any case, he appears to be more
aligned with the Kufuor camp.

Intelligence efforts should be adopted to route

his church following against his person should he
defect. Possible access to his personal assets,
business interests and potential relations with
some women will need to be explored in finer
detail.
43 National Chief Exit plan for Government will need to find a discreet way of In progress
Imam the National influencing the process of the appointment of the
Chief Imam next National Chief Imam as well as the Deputy.

The candidates for this should be well verified

party sympathizers who are likely to stand with
the party in crucial circumstances as has been
with the current Ashanti Region Imam. Nana has
shown his love for the Zongo Community by
creating the Zongo Ministry and establishing the
Zongo Development Fund. This is both
remarkable and historic in the annals of the
political history of Ghana. By this singular act,
Nana has taken bold steps towards breaking the
NDC monopoly of the Zongos. This project is a
must if we ever intend remaining relevant within
the Zongos.

Finally, cognizance has to be taken for elevating

over 50 chieftains to paramountcy status.

44 Media Our Grand We envisage that the role of Kwadwo Oppong Completed
Landscape Scheme To Nkrumah (KON) would continue to be crucial in
Capture And our quest to dominate the Ghanaian media
Dominate The landscape. He was super when planted around
Media some big weights of the erstwhile Mills-Mahama
Landscape government. While at Joy FM, his secret
recordings from the then government illuminated
our discussions and greatly influenced our
strategy which culminated in the landslide victory
of 2016.

No wonder that Gabby made every effort for the

young man to be promoted to the office of a
substantive Information Minister.This is more so
when we cannot vouch for the credibility and
loyalty of Dr Mustapha Hamid, at crucial times.
He, Mustapha, was the longest serving
spokesperson of Nana but we were shocked
when Nana caught him stealing campaign cash in
such critical opposition era where we were
suffocating from inadequate resources to
prosecute the campaign. It is now obvious that
Mr. Nkrumah has an ultimate presidential
ambition. We have a fiduciary duty to protect
him and to assure him of our support for the
future. The support would get him to commit to
the media capture agenda.
45 Communication Change in In the next government (2021-24), Gabby has In progress
Ministry Leadership already convinced Nana to move Kwadwo
Oppong Nkrumah to the Communications
Ministry to continue the clamp down on the
opposition, as well as the not too friendly radio
and television stations.

He is already excited about this promise on two

grounds; he would be deemed to remain one of
the loyalists for the future. Secondly, that
ministry has a one of the richest hence a conduit
for him to increase his personal financial muscles
for his presidential ambition.

46 Kojo Oppong Total While our team aims at total dominance of the Completed
Nkrumah And dominance of media architecture in the nearest future, there is
Journalists the media the need to have a generally good appeal in the
architecture in media. To this end, we have observed that the
the nearest discourse in the media has been generally
future fruitful. This has not happened by accident.

KON has successfully recruited about 80% of top

journalists including some with adversarial
tendencies towards us. His weekly covet
meetings with them to plan the issues of the
week have been exceedingly impactful.

The roles of Kwaku Baako, Paul Adom Otchere,

Kwame Sefa Kai and OB of Multimedia cannot be
under estimated. It is for this reason that Nana
nearly sacked Kan Dapaah for delaying the
release of their monthly allowance of One Million
Ghana Cedis (GH¢1m). Since the National
Security budget does not go through the normal
scrutiny, this group has to be assured of an
enhancement of their regular emoluments in our
next government on condition that they work
hard for our anticipated victory in December.

47 Ursula Owusu Closure Of We score Ursula Owusu 70% for her execution of Completed
Opposition the agenda to close down pro-NDC radio and
Media Television stations. While we praise her for
closing media entities such as Radio XYZ, Kapital
Radio, Muntie FM and many more, she scores
some low marks in the implementation of the
strategy.

We expected her to leave Radio Gold from the

list for obvious tactical reasons. She could have
 waved their debt like she has done for our
friendly stations such as Ash FM in Kumasi. She
could have been fired for avoidable backlash in
strategy but for her longstanding role as Nana's
protege.

48 Media Control Threaten There is no doubt that Joy 99.7 fm and the Completed
Manasseh Multimedia Group will remain industry leaders in
Azure Awuni the communication sphere of the country. While
relying on them as a veritable ally, anti-NPP
agenda by some of their staff does not portend
well for us. We were left with no choice but to
have used our 'boys' to threaten Manasseh Azure
Awuni. While his publications in the past inured
to our political benefit, he has overstretched
himself in his attempts to assume an air of
neutrality. He was influential to our historic
victory but his constant attacks on government
culminating into the 'Militia' documentary was
most unfortunate.
49 Media Control Elaborate The NCA waivers we offered the Ken City Media Completed
Support To and other party affiliates over their licenses must
Our Friendly continue. In 2021, KON will present a
Media comprehensive list of other radio stations that
must be recruited into this fold.

We have to issue receipts covering the next ten

(10) years as being payment of postpaid
renewals. Professor Addai has already received
instructions from Nana to give tax waivers to the
media entities that would be submitted to him.
KON is already making sure that about 90% of
government advertisements go to the pro-NPP
media. Same must be replicated in our next
government. These lofty gestures would ensure
that our friendly media houses consolidate
financial reserves and use the power of financial
capacity to outplay the NDC media in the ever-
increasing competitive media environment.

50 Media Control Reserving Ursula has been instructed by Nana, through In progress
Electronic Gabby, to execute plan 'A' of this plan.
Communicatio Underpinning the plan is to allocate seized NDC
n Frequencies frequencies to our members. Even if the original
To True Party owners are willing to pay multiple of times, she is
Faithful to refuse their renewal since dominance over
money is our focal point. She is also supposed to
reserve majority of the new frequencies to party
members who are loyal to the Nana brand. Due
 to the backlash in the revocation of radio and TV
licenses, she must, this time around, identify
party members who are already in the media
business and or those that the public sees as
already rich. Gabby and Chairman Wontumi are
part of the plan 'A' which continues till 2024
when the Nana completes his two terms. It is
important to note that KON will among other
strategies as the next Communications Minister,
allocate frequencies which are close and can
interfere with pro-NDC brands such as Class
Media, Power FM and the EIB platforms across
the country. We experimented same with Asaase
99.5 FM which was close to Joy 99.7 FM. This is a
subtle way to fight the NDC media who may have
met all the regulatory requirements.
51 Media Control The It appears our work at disabling the EIB, GN In progress
Supersonic Media and the ongoing efforts to do same with
Rise Of The Multimedia won't be the end of the struggle. The
Angel increasing growth of Kweku Oteng's media brand
Broadcasting must be troubling. Gabby and Kan Dapaah have
Network (Abn) already met Nana on the way forward in stopping
Is Worrying the growing dominance of the ABN. National
Security has since dispatched officials to do a
thorough forensic audit on all the businesses of
Kwku Oteng. In the event no adverse finding is
discovered, we shall plant fake versions of his
Adonko products on the market. We then have to
use the same National Security and the FDA to
arrest his production team in the full glare of the
media. Like we did to his Angel Natural Capsules
using our boys at FDA even in opposition, people
will stop buying his Adonko products; the major
source of his wealth. Professor Addai has also
been instructed by Kan Dapaah to liaise with
assigned National Security operatives to
spontaneously lockup almost all the ABN brands
in the country. They are to accuse them of under
invoicing and cutting corners in payments of
taxes. The broadcast companies would remain
locked-up for about 3 months. This plan should
be enough to completely halt the seeming
dominance of ABN.
52 Media Control Francisca There is no doubt that one reason that will make Completed
Oteng Must Be our fight against Kwaku Oteng is his daughter
Axed From who is the MP for Kwabre East. Nana nearly
Parliament made her a Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports
largely due to her age and her father's influence
until the BNI report on her got to him. She seems
 to be pitching camp with Alan and ignorantly the
Ashanti card.

She will work against Dr. Bawumia's bid after

Nana. Although she lobbied for Deputy
Ministerial Appointment, Nana only gave her the
NYA board membership, just to stop her father
from complaining about his token for the 2016
campaign. Sammy Awuku, John Boadu and
Chairman Wontumi have been tasked to ensure
that she is contested and also, loses the 2024
parliamentary primary of the party. In her stead,
the current presiding member of Kwabre East,
George Oppong, (soon to be a lawyer) or any
other well-known Akufo-Addo supporter must be
assisted to take over the seat by hook or crook.

53 NCA Board Kwame Sefa The kitchen cabinet of Nana feels that while Paul In process
Kai is equally known, he has credibility issues to deal
with especially on the conundrum surrounding
his withdrawal from the Ghana Law School.
Settling on him for the future could create
credibility challenges for a ticket. In the next
government, Nana will convince Sefa Kai to chair
the N.C.A board.

We believe that Paul is easily swayed by money

hence we cannot trust him for any sensitive
position. Gabby has already agreed with Nana to
move Paul from the NCA to the NMC, which he
would be supported to chair. We believe that
Paul, although may not be too excited about this
prospect, he would gladly accept it as
compensation for the work he has been doing for
us especially on the Metro TV's GOOD EVENING
GHANA show.

54 Ghana Hijacking Of Sadly, the GBC has largely tilted towards the NDC. In progress
Broadcasting GBC Perhaps the duration of the NDC as the longest
Corporation ruling party has ensured that majority of the GBC
workers are anti NPP. We have planned a three-
layer approach to capturing and controlling the
state broadcaster for good. Firstly, the plan to
revoke some of their TV channels will resume in
2021. We have had to backtrack due to the
brouhaha surrounding the revocation of their 3
channels. It appears the time; an election year
was inappropriate. KON will execute this with
finesse and make the channels available to our
 party business guys whose list is being compiled.
A number of the GBC radio stations will be sold
since they are not living up to the task.

Secondly, in our next government, we have to

execute a massive agenda where most senior
GBC staff will proceed on leave. Others will also
be transferred to some very remote communities
where live appears unbearable. The strategy is to
get them resign and their positions be filled with
party loyalists. This way, we will not only have
taken over the state broadcaster but our plans to
sell some of their frequencies will be met with
little or no hesitation. Thirdly, the last straw is to
continue to ensure that the GBC is inflicted with
inadequate budgetary allocations. That will justify
the need to sell their frequencies. It will also
make their leadership even more loyal since they
will have to continually keep mute to get bits of
their budgetary releases from the Finance
Ministry.

55 The Judiciary Dominance Our focus as a party has always been to position In progress
And and maintain our members and sympathizers at strategic
Governance In power in 2020 positions both in government and in the judiciary
Ghana and the next to cover and protect our interest. This has served
20 years us well over the period. All the appointments
made to the Supreme Court, Court of Appeal and
some of the High Courts in Ghana under our
government was to promote the NPP agenda and
to ensure our country never falls in the hands of
the opposition NDC.

The judicial power of Ghana shall be vested in the

Judiciary; accordingly, neither the President nor
any organ or agency of the President or
Parliament shall have or be given final judicial
power.

The recent decision to exclude the use of birth

certificate to prove one's citizenship during the
2020 Voter Registration exercise is a clear
example of the agenda to prevent so many
people from registering for this year's election
especially in our opponent strongholds. We had
statistics to suggest the negative impact it would
have had for us had we allowed it. All this was
done to pave way for a resounding victory for the
NPP and Nana in the 2020 elections. It is
important that we maintain the security we enjoy
currently under the judicial systems.

It is imperative to observe that in recent times

most elections in Africa have been fraught with
post-elections legal challenges. Kenya, Ivory
Coast and Zimbabwe are few of these cases. As
this becomes a norm, our own experience of
2013 should never happen again. We should
never be in this situation and the lessons should
teach us a lot. Occasionally it can be discovered
that the Courts have been instrumental in
shaping the democracy in Ghana, and
stakeholders are devotedly operating within the
legal framework governing elections, despite
logistical, law enforcement and justice delivery
challenges. We should as a lineage, be the winner
in this.

We have to make sure that even in the unlikely

event that the NDC win the 2020 elections that
they do not get the chance to appoint morte
judges to the Supreme Court. Our control over
the judiciary is important for our protection even
if we were to lose the election. To prevent such
unfortunate situations from occuring, we need to
explore all legal avenues to protect our
appointtees within the judicial system and find
out ways to prevent any new government from
making further appointments within the next 10
years at least. We must also re-strategize our
campaign. We need to find ways to get majority
of Ghanaians to be on our side. The Agyapa deal
may initially create problems for us but we would
need good communicators, people with the legal
brains to explain the issues to the general
population that the deal is in the national
interest.

While only the Judiciary can exercise the judicial

function, it is slow to resolve disputed facts and
law and often strains to uphold executive
authority. For instance, while the Constitution
commands that the President appoints members
of the Electoral Commission acting on the advice
of the Council of state, the court has interpreted
this requirement as if the President merely has to
consult with the Council of State. In another case,
the court has taken over two years and is yet to
resolve a simple question of law of whether the
President can appoint a person who is past the
mandatory retirement age to hold a public office.
It does not help matters that the President can
appoint an unlimited number of judges to the
Supreme Court.

While the Nana has been in office for three years,

he has appointed nine judges, including two Chief
Justices. Admittedly, many of these appointments
are made to replace retiring judges and there is
no systematic evidence of a deliberate effort to
undermine judicial independence. Nevertheless,
it feeds the perception that the President is
packing the court to gain influence over judicial
decisions.

To breathe life into the separation of power

doctrine, there is a need to amend Article 108 to
allow MPs to introduce private member bills. It is
not an entrenched provision of the Constitution
and can be amended with a two-thirds majority.
Fortunately, Speaker Professor Mike Ocquaye has
signaled that even in the absence of a
constitutional amendment, Parliament can
address this problem. It is expected that the
ongoing process to revise the Standing Orders of
Parliament will contain provisions to allow MPs
to introduce non-finance bills. It is necessary to
amend Article 78 to allow a President to choose
majority of Ministers outside Parliament and also
to have a ceiling on the number of Ministers
required for running government. We also need
to place a ceiling on the number of Supreme
Court justices and to require all of them to hear
all cases, especially those with constitutional
ramifications. In the short term and in the
absence of a constitutional amendment, as was
suggested as far back in 2003 by Professor H.
Kwasi Prempeh, there is a need to develope
conventions to address some of these gaps rather
than take actions that maintain the status quo or
exacerbate the problem.

In respect of Article 78, through a convention

developed between the Executive and
Legislature, a cap on number of ministers can be
reached. Ideally, it can double the number
required of a cabinet (38) excluding regional
ministers. A similar convention can be adopted to
provide for a ceiling on the num ber of Supreme
Court Justice to be appointed.
The 2020 elections will not be easy for us with
current happenings, we need to sit up. Why are
we so quiet on the Airbus scandal? Yes we know
we haven't found enough to indict Mahama but a
lot of Ghanaians were buying into our approach.
Why have we stopped! It is time to go back to the
drawing board. We must make sure we use the
court system to help us damage the NDC beyond
repair. Let us start prosecuting people. That is
why we put our people there. Otherwise we have
a problem.

Our attempt to take charge of the Judiciary is a

matter of necessity. Lest we forget, that in Accra
on June 30, 1982, between the hours of 9.00pm
and 10:30pm, four peace-loving and illustrious
Ghanaian citizens were abducted and callously
murdered. The four were Mrs. Justice Cecilia
Koranteng-Addo, Justices FP. Sarkodee and K.A.
Agyepong and Major Sam Acquah (rtd). Five
people - Joachim Amartey Kwei (then 32 years);
L/Cpl Samuel Kwaku Amedeka (27); L/Cpl Michael
Senya (21); Johnny Dzandu (23) and Tony Tekpor
(24) were tried by a National Public Tribunal,
chaired by Mr. George Agyekum.

We cannot acquiesce to the public quest for

bygones be bygones mantra. It is important to
understand that the origin still stays with our
good friend and former foe, Mr. Rawlings.
56 International handing out Our Russian allies have proven themselves with Completed
Relations With Magazin to operation 'Magazin'. We couldn't have made it
Wagner Head the NPP thus far with the aggressive nature of the
(Mr. Yevgeny Government opposition without this strategic document. By
Prigozhin) handing out Magazin to the NPP Government,
we will need to develop a much longer
relationship with them even if in the unlikely
situation of the party ever going into opposition.

However, C.O.P Appiatu will need to be handled.

Having served as the eye of the Russian
federation in our republic, it is very imperative to
redevelope relations and try to avert his anger.
His refusal to go as an Ambassador to the Ukraine
signals that the Russians still trust him and will be
unwilling to deal with the party in the long run
without him.

The implementation led by Sammy Awuku, Laud

Commey, Michael Opoku and rest will still have
to be coordinated with Appiatu in its fullest brute
form to achieve a total annihilation of the NDC
opposition and its leading elements. We need to
properly assess the genuineness of Mr. Yevgeny
Prigozhin. He had disclosed in the last meeting in
London that he was all for Nana and has had no
dealings whatsoever, with the former President
and his party. He repeated this statement in
Sochi at a dinner we had with the Egyptian
President. It has however been difficult to double
check this statement from Mr. Appiatu.

It is our duty to consider what is set out in the

bigger Russian picture and pick and choose what
will benefit the family. This is key because Ghana
is ranked at level 3 and the magazine programme
only suffices up to end of 2020. It is instructive to
look at the Moscow grand plan beyond 2020.

The Russian DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY which

covers the division of the African economy is
meant to contrast the interest of other states.
Now, in the light of the above, Kwame and Kusi
are to consult and carefully check the benefits of
this arrangement as against that of the US to
properly position the family and our tradition to
be the winners of this political chess game. By
way of reference!!
