  This is a poorly written article. This is one long sentence. "On his part the managing director of Golden Pride savings and loans Mr Johnson Boadi Asamoah said in their quest to bring banking services closer to the people who really need it , and that Golden Pride cooperate office that they are inaugurating is not just adding just another edifice to the landscape of Obuasi , but rather see the building as a catalyst to bring revolution in the way ,with a call on SMEs in the peri-urban centre’s need to engage with Golden Pride as an excellent provide of financial services to help grow local economy thereby creating sustainable employment sources."

  Columnist Maxwell Okamafo Asamani Addo captured this statement by the Veep. (new focus of government is intended to ensure that the country is able to establish a finance system that offers opportunities for Ghanaians to thrive in the quest for economic empowerment and improvement in the quality of their lives) the Veep. as stated was addressing members of the mining industry at the official launch of the Golden Pride Savings and Loans Limited.
  
  Your Excellency Kwesi Amissah Arthur, I think myself and most Ghanaians are not interested in Rhetoric.

Pathetic isn’t it…
  
  Ashanti greenstone belt is Ghana most productive region, it is said that Over 125 Moz of gold has been discovered in the Ashanti belt, making it one of the world’s most prolific gold producing areas, including world class deposits at Obuasi, Tarkwa and Prestia. But Oooo my God…. when you visit these areas you will now understand the sentiment behind me writing this article.
  
  For Christ seek let all of us Ghanaians face the fact, enough of Rhetorics let us be realistic.
  
  Government reforms should reflect in the creation of Jobs, peaceful environment, empowerment of the youth to upgrade their skills and we should stop politicising very issue.
  
  I finally want to end this article with a quote from Desmond Tutu (What is black empowerment when it seems to benefit not the vast majority but an elite that tends to be recycled?) Let us think about this:...................
