GHANAIAN dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has lambasted pastors who are collecting tithes and offerings online from their church members amid the lingering coronavirus pandemic.
Following a presidential ban of public gatherings as a result of the pandemic in Ghana, the controversial music star had observed that some pastors have adopted a digital means of tithe and offering collection.
Reacting to the development in an interview with 4 Syte TV, he lashed out at the pastors; saying they only care about money and not the salvation and welfare of their members.
Shatta Wale said “We are in a period where I don’t think pastors should even try that. You understand me? Your members come to church and they give collection, now there is a problem. The collections they gave like for the past 30 years, where are those collections?
“Okay like you can say your collections for the past 30 years; where can I buy some rice or yam or things for you? But [now] that Coronavirus is killing your church members, some of your church members don’t even have cars. Some don’t have houses. They rent and you’re still collecting tithes online?
“These are scammers like hard sakawa guys and that’s why some people like Kennedy Agyapong will get pissed and start bombarding them. As a man of God, don’t you have pity?”
