The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel George, has announced that MultiChoice Ghana, the operators of DStv, has until September 6, 2025 to reduce its charges or face revocation of license.
He has reaffirmed government’s stand to ensure that MultiChoice Ghana review its prices down for Ghanaian consumers in line with improved economic conditions in the country.
Speaking at Digital Africa Summit programme held in Accra, Mr. George revealed that government will meet MultiChoice tomorrow to reach a decision.
“They have up to the 6th of September, if by the time, there is no resolution, we will shut down the operations of MultiChoice. No company, no corporate entity is more powerful than the collective interest of the Ghanaian people”, he warned.
Mr. George also disclosed that the company also owes the National Communications Authority (NCA) for failing to submit critical pricing data requested under the Electronic Communications Act (ECA).
“15 or 16 days ago, I met with MultiChoice and imposed a GH¢10,000 daily fine on them. So now, they owe us 150,000 to 170,000 cedis. The NCA will collect the money”, he said.
He revealed that all efforts to get MultiChoice to review its prices down by 30 percent have failed, as the company remains adamant.
“I have engaged them and asked them to do a 30 percent reduction in line with improved economic conditions in the country, they have failed to comply”, he said.
