MultiChoice Ghana has dismissed claims by the ministry of communications suggesting that it has agreed to reduce DStv subscription prices.
According to the pay-TV operator, no such agreement has been reached, even as the government sets up a newly established joint committee to consider possible reductions.
The company’s response follows an announcement by the Minister for Communications, Digital Technology, and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, who stated that MultiChoice had agreed to cut prices.
“Let us be clear, they have finally accepted that there will be a reduction and they want us to discuss the level of reduction. I believe that as a minister, we do not need 30 days. Fourteen days is enough, inclusive of weekends, for us to reach this decision,” he said at a press conference.
In response, MultiChoice denied the minister’s announcement and stressed that no agreement has been made so far.
“We continue to engage with the Minister in a bid to find an amicable solution that is beneficial for all parties involved but does not jeopardise the viability of the DStv service.
However, we wish to clarify that MultiChoice Group has not agreed to a price reduction,” the company said in a statement on September 5, 2025.
The company further pledged to cooperate with the committee to ensure an amicable outcome.
“We will fully participate in the established Working Committee.”
