Ghanaian Millionaire Explains Why He Doesn't Pay Church Tithe

Prince Kofi Amoabeng is the founder and chief executive officer of UT Holdings. He gives his candid reasons why he doesn't pay his tithe as a Christian.

“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.

 “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.”
