Communications Minister Threatens to Revoke Multichoice Licence by September 6

The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel George, has directed MultiChoice Ghana, operators of DStv, to reduce its subscription charges by September 6 or risk having its operating licence revoked.

Addressing participants at the Digital Africa Summit in Accra, Mr George stressed that government will not allow the pay-TV provider to operate outside the bounds of fairness and regulatory compliance.

“They have up to the 6th of September. 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 declared.

The Minister disclosed that the National Communications Authority (NCA) has repeatedly requested critical pricing data from MultiChoice under the Electronic Communications Act (ECA), but the company has failed to comply.

“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.

According to Mr George, government expects a 30 percent reduction in DStv subscription charges, citing improved macroeconomic conditions as justification for a price review.

“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,” he added.

He further noted that government officials will meet with MultiChoice on Wednesday to conclude discussions on the matter.
