Teso North and Teso South and Bukhayo North Ward pastors have dismissed the national government’s idea to impose taxes on tithes. The pastors, who met at Hotel Suddex in Amagoro where they formed the Teso Pastors Network Association Platform (TPNAP) aimed at bringing all pastors together to fight for injustices meted on them and the interim chairman Pastor Dennis Etyang faulted the taxing idea, adding that the state should treat pastors with decorum and that they work on a voluntary status throughout the week.
He said the umbrella, TPNAP, will protect the true pastors, and acknowledged that there are fake pastors who maintain a false image and preach the wrong message, “The network will cover good pastors, anybody who disguises themselves as pastors to con members of the public will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” he said.
