Abesewa (Ash), May 24, GNA- Mr Sampson Kwaku Boafo, Ashanti Regional Minister, has presented 100 bags of cement and eight packets of roofing sheets through the Ahafo-Ano South district Assembly to the people of Abesewa for the construction of a clinic.

Mr Kwaku Obeng Boateng, the District Chief Executive, announced this when he deputised for the Regional Minister at a fund-raising harvest by the people of Abesewa.
