Minister in charge of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovation Samuel Nartey ‘Gyata’ George has issued a three-day ultimatum to MultiChoice operators of DSTV to reduce its price by September 6, 2025, or face suspension.
The Minister made this disclosure while speaking on the sidelines of the Digital Africa Summit in Accra.
According to him, the government would not retreat from its stance.
“On August 7, the NCA, acting on my behalf, issued a 30-day notice to suspend the licence of Multichoice Ghana Limited because they failed to cut their price by 30%. Some 15 days ago, I met with them and imposed a GHC10,000 daily fine on them. So, now they owe us about GHC150,000, which the NCA will collect.
“As of now, they have until September 6. If there is no resolution, we will shut down the operations of MultiChoice. No company or corporation is more powerful than the collective interest of the Ghanaian people,” he said.
The Minsiter recently imposed a daily fine of GHC10,000 on MultiChoice Ghana for its failure to submit crucial pricing data.
As of Wednesday, September 3, 2025, the accumulated penalty stands at approximately GHC150,000.
