GhanaWeb Feature by Ishmael Batoma: The public is divided over the ongoing feud between the Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, , and Multichoice Ghana, the operators of DStv and GoTV.
While a section of the public supports Sam George's order for the National Communications Authority (NCA) to suspend DStv's service in seven days if they fail to reduce their prices, others are questioning the feasibility of the minister's directive.
The debate over the impasse borders on the legitimacy of the minister's order, with some saying his actions constitute an unnecessary interference in the affairs of a private business.
Some have even said that Sam George's action can lead to the government being sued because he has no power to direct a private entity to reduce its prices and ultimately no power to order the closure of the entity.
