Dwenase (E/R), March 19, GNA - The people of Dwenase and Apinamang in the Kwaebibirem District are to enjoy potable water under the small-town water supply system and each citizen is being levied 15 Ghana cedis. The Chief of Dwenase, Barima Amuah Kukuo Ntriakuo, said at a meeting with his people at Dwenase that contributions were expected to total 20,000 Ghana cedis.

The Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) is expected to pay 90 per cent of the total cost of the project with the Kwaebibirem District Assembly paying five percent and the people of Dwenase and Apinamang footing the remaining five percent.
