NPP To Guns Under Siege

A bird from within the corridors of power of the Mill’s administration has whispered to the Crusading Guide how some security capos within the new government have plotted to demonize top shots of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the role they played in the last elections. At a meeting in secret locations, name withheld for now, names like Lord Commey, Kennedy Agyapong, Kwabena Agyapong cropped up as people whose actions nearly cost the ruling government the last election.

Kwabena Agyapong was said to have put a lot of pressure on the Electoral Commission (EC) during the election. His strong Defence of the NPP was said to have angered NDC stalwarts and loyalists. The plan against him is to ensure that what every business connections he has which would sustain him for the next four years is undermined so that there would be no food on his table.

Perhaps, the plan against Kennedy Agyapong, according to our sources, is the most diabolic. He is accused of owning a radio station that is not just anti-Rawlings, but anti-NDC. He is also accused of having engaged top NDC functionaries on radio in debate and allegedly insulting them.

The plan against him is to plant some parcels of cocaine in his house so that he can be charged with possessing and dealing in narcotics. “And when this happens his media empire would crumple down quickly because it would be said in court that he got his wealth from cocaine and so the wealth must be confiscated”.

On Lord Oblitey Commey, sources hinted that for his vibrancy and role in organizing party foot soldiers as well as the action troopers, they would use his own party member against him. “They would arm some gullible party members with some documents of properties allegedly owned by Lord Commey, though he may not know anything about those prosperities.”

The information would be published so much in the pro-NDC newspapers such that his own party members would believe it, thereby ensuring that he is voted out of power from the NPP national executive.

Sources again hinted that while dealing with what to do with the top shots, somebody raised an issue about what to do with technocrats like Ras Boateng of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and Ken Atafuah of the National Identification Authority (NIA). ‘We have to keep them for a while because of their knowledge’ one said”

But another quickly interrupted that their continued stay at post though would be profitable to the nation would not be in the interest of the ruling party.

Somebody argued that Prof. Dumor formerly f the NHIS should be made to stay there for supervision, but added quickly that, before any of them was retained a background check must be done on them to ascertain their loyalty. While this debate of to remove or not to remove the technocrats was ongoing, somebody rushed in with the news of Vice Admiral Owusu Ansah’s death, abruptly ending the meeting.
