Keta (V/R)-Ghana Aug. 15, GNA – A total of fourteen physically challenged persons in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region have received some financial support from Government through the Municipal Assembly.

Madam Boklo further revealed that a beneficiary would be sponsored to learn a job of her choice.
