The National Communications Authority (NCA) has confirmed that MultiChoice Ghana has agreed to join a stakeholder committee set up to evaluate DStv subscription pricing in Ghana.
In a statement released on Sunday, September 7, 2025, the NCA said the decision follows directives from the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation, Hon. Samuel Nartey George. MultiChoice Ghana has also pledged its full participation in the committee’s work.
This development comes after the company earlier issued a public statement on September 5, 2025, rejecting claims that it had agreed to reduce subscription prices. The NCA clarified that after further engagements, MultiChoice accepted to cooperate with the stakeholder process.
The first meeting of the committee is scheduled for Monday, September 8, 2025. According to the NCA, the final outcome of the committee’s work will determine the next steps.
MultiChoice Ghana has assured that it will respect due process, Ghanaian laws, and the interests of subscribers.
Earlier, the NCA had written to MultiChoice Ghana requesting a detailed pricing model and issued a notice of possible suspension of its authorization if directives were not followed.
At a press conference on Friday, September 5, Minister Samuel George stated:
“MultiChoice has finally agreed to reduce their prices; now they want us to discuss the level of reduction. Ghanaians have made it clear – we will not continue paying exorbitant subscription fees.”
However, MultiChoice countered in a separate statement, saying:
“We will fully participate in the Working Committee. However, we wish to clarify that MultiChoice Group has not agreed to a direct price reduction. Discussions are still ongoing to find a balanced solution that does not jeopardise the DStv service.”
Following renewed engagement with the NCA, MultiChoice has now officially committed to the stakeholder evaluation process, marking a key step in addressing public concerns over DStv pricing in Ghana.
