The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon.

Samuel Nartey George (MP) has called on Multichoice Ghana to implement a 30% reduction in DSTV subscription prices, citing the significant appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi and growing public dissatisfaction with current rates. ‎During a meeting held today with a team from DSTV, led by Dr.

Keabetswe Modimoeng, Group Executive for Regulatory and Corporate Affairs, the Minister indicated that government's mandate is to respond to the needs of Ghanaians, who have expressed frustration over high DSTV prices and outdated content offerings. ‎The Minister noted that, despite a 30% improvement in the cedi's value over the past five months, DSTV prices have not reflected this positive economic shift. ‎He is therefore soliciting for a 30% price reduction to match the cedi's appreciation and to pass on economic benefits to consumers.

He stressed that, while Multichoice has introduced promotional packages, subscribers prefer a direct price cut over temporary offers. ‎Hon.
