The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has set the records straight on his statement about incentives for churches instead of taxes.
However, following the mixed reactions, the Vice President has said the statement was made in jest and has been taken out of context
“I made that statement within the context of acknowledging the significant contributions of churches and other faith-based institutions to the country, including the construction of schools, hospitals, and other vital infrastructure.
“Look at the number of hospitals the churches have built. Look at the number of universities the churches have built and faith-based organisations have built. Look at the number of people the churches and faith-based organizations take care of on a daily basis,” Dr Bawumia explained.
