The Government of Ghana has reiterated its readiness to suspend the operations of MultiChoice Ghana if the company fails to comply with directives to reduce subscription fees.
Minister of Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Sam George, insisted that the company risks having its licence revoked by September 6, 2025, if no agreement is reached on lowering prices.
The ministry has already imposed a daily fine of GHC10,000 on MultiChoice for failing to provide required pricing data, with the company now owing about GHC150,000 in accumulated penalties.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Digital Africa Summit in Accra, Mr. George said the government would not compromise on the matter.
“On August 7, the NCA, acting on my behalf, issued a 30-day notice to suspend the licence of Multichoice Ghana Limited because they failed to cut their price by 30%. Some 15 days ago, I met with them and imposed a GHC10,000 daily fine on them. So, now they owe us about GHC150,000, which the NCA will collect.
“As of now, they have until September 6. If there is no resolution, we will shut down the operations of MultiChoice. No company or corporation is more powerful than the collective interest of the Ghanaian people,” he declared.
