Ghana’s Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel George, said MultiChoice Ghana would be shut down by September 6 if the Cable TV company failed to reduce its subscription fees
Speaking at the Digital Africa Summit in Accra, Mr. George emphasised that the government is committed to ensuring fair pricing for Ghanaian consumers, reflecting recent improvements in the country’s economic conditions.
“They have up to September 6, 2025. If by that time there is no resolution, we will shut down the operations of MultiChoice. No company, no corporate entity is more powerful than the collective interest of the Ghanaian people,” he stated.
“Fifteen or sixteen days ago, I met with MultiChoice and imposed a GH¢10,000 daily fine on them. So now, they owe us between GH¢150,000 and GH¢170,000. The NCA will collect the money,” he revealed.
He added that all attempts to get MultiChoice to reduce its subscription fees by 30 percent have been unsuccessful.
“I have engaged them and asked them to do a 30 percent reduction in line with improved economic conditions in the country, but they have failed to comply,” the minister said.
