Atweaa (Ash), April 4, GNA - The chiefs and people of Atweaa near Nsuta in the Sekyere West District are to organize a fund-raising harvest on Easter Sunday towards their electrification project. Mr Yaw Asemah, chairman of the town's unit committee, made this known to the Ghana News Agency at Atweaa on Tuesday.

He said residents are paying special levies of 10,000 cedis a woman and 20,000 cedis a man and non-residents would pay 30,000 cedis a woman and 50,000 cedis a man.
