One
of Ghana’s millionaires Prince Kofi Amoabeng has revealed he does not pay tithe
and will never honour the Christian for personal reasons.
A tithe is one tenth of your income, formerly taken as a tax to support the
Church ,clergy and missionary work.
The president of UT Holdings said on Morning Starr, Friday, he believes in God and
goes to Church “once in a long while if there is a wedding or funeral,” but he
is not a tither.
“I don’t pay tithe. I would not give 10 percent and nobody can force me to give
10 percent of my money to anybody. So I don’t pay tithe. I do all sort of
philanthropic jobs myself. I see where there is the need for me to help and I
help.
“I don’t have to give it to somebody who then decides where to put the money.
So it is my hard earned money and I should put it where I want to put it,” he
told host Nii Arday
Clegg.
Despite his posturing towards the payment of tithe, the former CEO of UT Bank
opined: “That’s me. I’m not saying payment of tithe is bad. I’m not here to say
don’t pay tithe. No. I think it depends on what you see the church for and what
the church means to you and does for you.”
“I don’t give a damn,” Amoabeng opined when asked how he will feel when he
dies. “I don’t think about death at all.”
