Gospel singer Diana Asamoah wants pastors who sell sobolo drinks to pay taxes. She thinks these church leaders should face the same rules as herbal doctors. The Ghana Revenue Authority collects money from traditional healers who sell medicines. Asamoah believes pastors who claim their drinks provide divine healing are running businesses. She argues that all people who sell products should contribute to the tax system.

The musician thinks this policy would create fair treatment across different types of healers. Many pastors sell sobolo and tell followers the drink has special powers. They market these beverages as solutions for health problems and spiritual issues. Asamoah sees no difference between pastors selling healing drinks and traditional doctors selling herbs. Both groups promise to cure people through their special products.

Her comments have started arguments among religious communities and business groups. Some people support taxing church leaders who run commercial activities. Others believe religious organizations should remain free from government taxation. The debate highlights questions about separating business activities from religious practices. Asamoah continues pushing for equal treatment under tax laws.
