Mr Yaw Ahenkora Afrifa, Ejisu-Juaben District Chief Executive, made these known in an answer to a question at a district's peoples' assembly at Ejisu on Friday.

He said 60 per cent of the assembly's revenue would be spent on educational infrastructure and scholarships for needy but brilliant children and teacher trainees in the district.

On water and sanitation, Mr Afrifa said the assembly had sunk 106 boreholes and constructed 740 household latrines as well as 52 institutional latrines throughout the district.
