Popular Ghanaian musician, Emmanuel Kofi Botwe famed as Kwaw Kese has urged the government to start taking taxes from churches as he believes most churches in the country make a lot of money.
According to him, Ghanaian pastors make a lot of money, and as such, taxing them will provide the country with some income to help address developmental issues.
Kwaw Kesse said asides from the fact that some pastors live expensive lifestyles which need to be investigated, they need to contribute taxes towards national development.
“I know what I’ve said – some Pastors will come and make doom prophecies against me but it doesn’t make sense that in Ghana, people are hungry but the pastor has built mansions and has a lot of cars to their credit meanwhile, people are hungry,” he stated in an interview with Kingdom Plus FM.
“When you are in traffic you will get sad. Kids as young as 2 years are in traffic begging. When have you heard that a Church has said that it will provide shelter for all these homeless individuals?” he added.
