The Convention People’s Party has launched a fund for the development of the birth place of Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Nkroful in the Western Region.

The Save Nkrumah’s Nkroful Fund comes in the wake of agitations from the people of Nkroful that the town has been left to rot and not even the celebration of Ghana’s golden jubilee has brought any significant development to the town.

Business magnate and staunch CPP member, Asuma Banda launched the programme at a ceremony in Accra.

Banda who pledged a ¢100 million seed money said the family house and the town in general was to be rehabilitated immediately.
