Samuel George, the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, has given MultiChoice Ghana, the company that runs DStv, until September 6 to lower its subscription fees or risk revoking its license.

In light of recent improvements in Ghana’s economic situation, Mr George emphasised during his speech at the Digital Africa Summit in Accra that the government is dedicated to making sure that Ghanaian consumers receive fair prices.

“They have up to the 6th of September. If by that 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 stated.

Government to meet with MultiChoice to conclude engagement

Mr. George revealed that the company has not complied with the National Communications Authority’s (NCA) requests for crucial pricing information mandated by the Electronic Communications Act (ECA).

“Fifteen or sixteen days ago, I met with MultiChoice and imposed a GH¢10,000 daily fine on them. So now, they owe us between GH¢150,000 and GH¢170,000. The NCA will collect the money,” he revealed.

He said all efforts to persuade MultiChoice to lower its subscription costs by thirty per cent have failed.

“I have engaged them and asked them to do a 30 per cent reduction in line with improved economic conditions in the country, but they have failed to comply,” the minister said.

Fines imposed to force MultiChoice Ghana to reduce subscription fees

Techpression reported last month that the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovations has fined DSTV Ghana GH¢10,000 daily for not submitting the necessary price data.

After DSTV refused to disclose ECA-required information, the sanction began on August 15, 2025.

This shows the ministry’s commitment to transparency, forcing DSTV to defend its Ghanaian subscription costs.

Minister Samuel Nartey George confirmed the penalties in a meeting with DSTV executives and stressed the need for comprehensive bouquet prices, tax components, and pricing comparisons with six other African countries.

Because of the impending fine and suspension notice, DSTV needs to move quickly to be open and work on pricing that benefits consumers in Ghana’s digital ecosystem.

This bold move by the government shows how frustrated people are with telecom and subscription service prices, which are hard to understand. What DSTV does in the next few days will be very important for its future business in Ghana.
