The Communication Minister has begun imposing a statutory fine of GH¢10,000 per day on MultiChoice Ghana (DSTV) for failing to submit critical pricing data requested under the Electronic Communications Act (ECA).
The sanction took effect on Friday, August 15, 2025.
Sector Minister Sam George disclosed the move during a meeting with DSTV executives, explaining that the information, including a detailed breakdown of bouquet prices, tax components, and comparisons with at least six other African markets, was needed to facilitate discussions on lowering subscription fees for Ghanaian customers.
The company had been granted an extension until Monday, August 11, 2025, to provide the data.
