In an interview on Hitz FM, Mark Okraku stated that his decision was influenced by one Brother Dan Owusu Asiamah of the Church Of Christ.

"He even backs his submissions with bible quotations because I don’t know the bible too well, I will not try,” he said.
However, he is convinced that some churches don’t use the monies paid as tithe for the work of God. He stressed that some of them still encourage it because of the selfish interests of certain individuals in the church.
“Let’s find out from those who work in the church whether they benefit from the tithe given in church. They are supposed to be the beneficiaries of that money",He stated.
"Why are we saying that we don’t want an eye for an eye because it is in the Old Testament? But as for tithe, we like it because some people are benefiting,” he added.
