Rwanda's President Paul Kagame proposes a church tax to crack down on exploitative practices by evangelical preachers, following the closure of 8,000 churches for operating illegally. Kagame criticizes church leaders who use religion to manipulate and extract money from the poor, often targeting Pentecostal churches that follow the prosperity gospel doctrine. Similar concerns have arisen in other African countries like Uganda and Kenya.
