Renowned playwright and CEO of Roverman Productions, Uncle Ebo Whyte, has quizzed why Churches don’t trust their members.
According to Uncle Ebo Whyte, the cash team in many churches is drawn from the most mature and committed members, yet the rooms where they count money have CCTV cameras.
He also highlighted that those who count the church money are also not allowed to take in their bags and purses in the counting room.
In a post on TikTok, Uncle Ebo Whyte wrote, “The cash team in many churches are drawn from the most mature and committed members, and yet the rooms where they count money have CCTV cameras, and they are not allowed to take in their bags and purses.
If the churches cannot trust their most mature and committed members, even with God’s money, who can trust them? Can their employers trust them? Can their spouses trust them?
The reality is that most Ghanaians say we believe one thing, and then do the opposite.
Or could it be that sometimes we act against what we claim to believe simply because we have not given it serious thought?”
His post further added, “When I worked with Asempa Publishers in the mid-80s, my boss and I delivered invitation letters for board meetings. One board member, a bank’s financial controller, read his letter and said, “James, this invites me to a 2 p.m. meeting, yet I have sold my 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to my employer. Do you want me to steal my employer’s time?”
I had never thought of it that way. We later moved such meetings to 5 p.m. And I keep asking myself: why did it not occur to us that a 2 p.m. meeting was asking someone to steal from their employer? That experience taught me how easy it is to do the wrong thing simply because we have not thought it through.
So I am wondering: do we do wrong because we have not thought, or because we choose to?
When we drop litter, jump red lights, demand years of rent in advance, underpay workers, or waste people’s time, do we realise what we are doing?
It is time to let what we say we believe shape our actions. And it is time we gave serious thought to our choices, because we may be destroying Ghana without even realising it. That should change”.
