Minister for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Samuel Kofi Dzamesi has revealed why the state is planning to audit the books of churches henceforth.
According to him, the move will ensure that churches use their financial resources for their intended humanitarian purposes.
“It is important that we know their financial strength and what they indeed use their funds for. The [Charity] Commission will be interested in knowing if the churches actually use their funds to advance the interests of their members,” he explained.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem’ the minister explained that the ministry was ready to present the national policy on religion to government.
Mr Dzamesi said under the policy, all churches will be compelled to register under the existing religious bodies such as the Catholic Secretariat, the Christian Council of Ghana, the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), and the Independent Council of Churches.
Any church that does not fall under any of the existing Christian councils in the country, he noted, will be dealt with accordingly.

They will hate you for my name sake. To single out one religious body is a complete hetred. You are afraidto talk about Muslims. GOD WILL DEAL WITH YOU ALL
This is another satanic agenda against the church. At least if the devil is trying to use you, why can't you for once tell the devil you are not available. I m advising you to visit MFM prayer city for one month deliverance before it's too late. Non sense
In any case has the state given any money to the churches? If no then what are they going to audit? They are just not serious. They should come again.
We always said this. The incompetence and anti-christ agenda of the npp is finally showing up. The church will explain to them what it really means by the battle is the Lord's
After stealing all the taxes being paid, you now start to impose CSE on us. We reject, then you start with attacking churches. As for the devil, you can follow him but know that wherever he will be, there you will be with him too
You cannot fight against the bride of Christ and not expect any casualties among yourselves. The church is ready for you
This is not what is needed. It would have been nice to hear that the mosques and shrines would be audited...why this glaring 'fear' of other religions but great hatred for the church?...even at work places...moslems are allowed to pray on Fridays and not work but christians can't close early for church...yet the weekend is enjoyed by both...such ***barred word***!!!
master think of the numerous chieftaincy issues surrounding you and solve them. leave the churches alone. have you collected any money for them to audit them. tweeeaaa. go and audit the mosque and the shrines. Think through before issuing statements. again audit the mosque and shrines also.
