Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, has responded to DStv Ghana's recent statement amid ongoing public concerns over high subscription fees.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the legislator described DStv's approach as dismissive of the Ghanaian public, saying the company "does not take the Ghanaian people serious enough."

George compared the situation in Ghana to Nigeria, where the same parent company, MultiChoice, complied with a court order to suspend similar price hikes after the Nigerian House of Representatives intervened.
