Enforced regime change: What should a post December 2024 transitional revolutionary government do?

Dear critical-reader, there is no question that the too clever by half bumbling-geniuses, into whose grasping hands our homeland  Ghana has fallen, will be turfed out of power, after the December 2024 elections.

As wise and aspirational Africans, should we not therefore address our minds to what should happen, if at any point in time after the 2024 elections, it becomes obvious, to the vast majority of the populace (and a national consensus is arrived at), that for supreme national-interest-reasons, and the overall best interests, of  present and future generations of Ghanaians, the corruption-riddled 4th Republic, ought to be brought to an abrupt  end,  through enforced regime change, to make way for a new 5th Republic?

That new 5th Republic, ought to be designed, and tailor-made, to prevent state-capture rent-seekers, from ever being able to  form family-and-friends governments-of-the-day, to enable them pillage our nation's resources, at the expense of ordinary folk, to send their personal net worth to stratospheric heights.

In one's humble view, amongst the host of anti-corruption policy options open to it, the following ought to be included, in the to-do list, of any transitional revolutionary  regime, ruling Ghana temporarily, after the enforced regime change, while the drawing up of a new constitution to bedrock the 5th Republic proceeds apace.

In tandem with that, dear critical-reader, the transitional
revolutionary government must carry out a ruthless house-cleaning-exercise, similar to that of June 4, 1979  -  to severely punish all those who participated in the brutal gang-rape of Mother Ghana, during the 4th Republic:

1) Top priority, must be the swift nationalisation, of all privately held gold holdings, both in Ghana and overseas, owned by individuals and  corporates  -  unless holders can prove, beyond all reasonable doubt  (to investigators and the law courts), that their gold holdings were acquired without abusing any  of  regulatory officialdom's exploration licensing regimes: to cloak the massive destruction of forest reserves (a crime against hard--of-hearing humanity, no less), to mine gold illegally, covertly bankrolled with sales of bushcut chainsaw lumber (produced illegally, too), doubtless incontestible-double-whammy-criminality of the very worst kind.

2) The new transitional revolutionary regime must also punish all those who contributed to the bankrupting of Mother Ghana,  and in so doing, literally handed over our entire system underpinning our hapless Republic, to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, lock stock and barrel.

Alas,  dear critical-reader,
under the ruthless enslavement of our country,  by the IMF and World Bank, literally nothing, can now be done, in Ghana,  finance-wise, without their stamp-of-approval - before it can then be sanctioned, on paper, by the straightjacketed and enfeebled  government of Ghana, in a new era of neocolonialist  rubber-stamp-governance, placing Nkrumah's beloved Ghana (now a global power in begging-bowl-diplomacy), under callous and uncaring foreign-pupillage. Hmmm, Anansesemkromfuor - tweaaaaa...
