Techiman (Brong Ahafo), 31st May 99 -

About 100 members of the Wangraline Youth Wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Friday undertook a three-hour cleanup exercise around the offices of the Ghana Education Service at Techiman.

They desilted choked gutters and culverts, weeded the compound and collected solid and liquid waste to disposal points.

The organiser, Mr Alphonse Kwabena Albert told the Ghana News Agency that the exercise was to give practical meaning to community service and to get rid of the filth in the town.

After the exercise, which was later joined by many people, Mr Albert commended participants and said it would be a regular affair and hoped that by the exercise, more people will be encouraged join the party.

Mr Awuley Quaye, Vice-Chairman of the Wing, called on the members to intensify their campaign to win more supporters, by going from house to house to explain to the people why the NPP should win the next general elections.

He said the present hardships in the country has become unbearable, hence the need for a change in government and asked supporters of the party not to rest on their oars since, "we cannot afford to lose the next elections."
