A Kente Village Project is being established at
Kensere in the Asante-Bekwai Municipality as part
of an initiative to create wealth and jobs,
particularly for the youth in the area.

It is the brainchild of the Member of Parliamentof
the area, Mr Joe Osei-Wusu.

A "Kente Festival" would be held at Akyeremade,
near Bekwai, during the Easter celebration to put
on public display "kente" products and designs, Mr
Samuel Agyapong Marfo, a member of the Planning
Committee, told the GNA.

He said a showroom had been prepared at the
municipal headquarters, Bekwai, to attract more
tourists and that the three-day event would be
climaxed with a grand durbar of chiefs on April
24.

Other activities include beauty contest sponsored
by Coca Cola Bottling Company, football gala and
thanksgiving service.

Mr Marfo appealed to all citizens of the area to
join in the effort to bring jobs and boost the
economy of the area.
