Ghanaian Hiplife/ Hip Hop musician Emmanuel Kofi Botwe, well known by the stage name, Kwaw Kese has proposed that churches should be taxed in the country.
According to the rapper, one of the groups of people in the country who make a lot of money is pastors. He said if pastors are taxed the country will be able to make some income to help address developmental issues.

During an interview with ace broadcaster Fiifi Pratt on Kingdom Plus FM’s Afro Joint, Kwaw Kese stated that pastors use monies they make from church members to leave extravagant lifestyles at the expense of their congregants.
Kwaw Kese encouraged the government to consider his proposal about the churches and start taking taxes to boost the country’s revenue. He emphasized that church members are hungry and homeless but pastors live in luxurious mansions.
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 said on 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?
