clean up exerscise at Lartebiokorshie(15/04/09)

EXECUTIVE Members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Branch 'B' and the Atta Mills Fun Club in the Lartebiokorshie electoral area in the Ablekuma Central Constituency celebrated the Easter holiday with a clean-up exercise.

The Assembly member of the Lartebiokorshie Electoral Area, Mr Gamboidris Wangabi, expressed the belief that the youth had to help in keeping their surroundings clean because the exercise would eventually help people to save money which could have been used to treat filth-related sicknesses in the hospital.
