THE UNTOLD STORY ABOUT TAIN

AN unassuming constituency in the Brong Ahafo Region, Tain, formally the Wenchi West Constituency, with Nsawkaw as its headquarters, has, for the second time within two years, become the focus of the more than 20 million Ghanaians and the world at large.
The Tain District earned national and international recognition for the time on August 24, 2007 when the sod was cut for the multi-million dollar Bui Hydro Electric Project. On that day, President J. A. Kufuor blasted a mountain of rocks and rubbles to signify the beginning of work on the US$622 million integrated project.
