The Government of Ghana has reiterated its intention to suspend the operations of MultiChoice Ghana if the company fails to comply with directives to reduce subscription prices by the September 6, 2025 deadline.
Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Sam George, warned that the government would not hesitate to enforce sanctions should MultiChoice continue to resist the directive.
The ministry has already imposed a daily fine of GH₵10,000 on the company for failing to provide critical pricing data, with accumulated penalties reaching about GH₵150,000 as of Wednesday.
Speaking at the sidelines of the Digital Africa Summit in Accra, Mr. George explained that the National Communications Authority (NCA), acting on his behalf, had issued a 30-day notice on August 7 to suspend MultiChoice’s licence for failing to implement a 30% price cut.
“Some 15 days ago, I met with them and imposed a GH₵10,000 daily fine. So now they owe us about GH₵150,000, 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 stated.
