Households contribute 70,000 cedis for water project

Nkoranza (Brong Ahafo) 18 Match '99

The Nkoranza community is to raise 129 million cedis to support a pipe-borne water project under the Promotion of District Capital One Project. Each household is expected to contribute 70,000 cedis for the project, sponsored by the German Technical Cooperation and estimated at 3.5 billion cedis. The contribution of 70,000 cedis a household represents five per cent of the commitment fee of the Nkoranza township for the water project. Mr George Osei-Poku, Development Officer of the Nkoranza District Assembly, said at Nkoranza on Thursday that a four-member task force is educating the community on the need to pay the commitment fee. He stressed the need for landlords to organise all their inmates to contribute promptly to enable the project to take off on schedule.
