MultiChoice Ghana has agreed to slash DStv subscription fees following weeks of pressure from the government and regulators.
The decision comes after the Ministry of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, together with the National Communications Authority (NCA), threatened to suspend the company’s license for failing to comply with a July directive to reduce tariffs by 30 percent.
Communications Minister Sam George confirmed on Friday, September 5, 2025, that MultiChoice has now accepted to review its charges.
A stakeholder committee—comprising the Ministry, NCA, MultiChoice Ghana, and MultiChoice Africa—has been set up to determine the level of reduction.
“MultiChoice has requested a 30-day window for the committee to arrive at what percentage of reduction will be achieved. So let’s be clear, they have finally accepted that there’ll be a reduction. Now they want us to discuss the level of reduction,” Sam George stated.
The committee has 14 days to present a new tariff structure, with the minister serving as chair.
The move follows public outcry over recent price hikes and months of standoff between the company and the government.
