The National Communications Authority (NCA) has officially responded to MultiChoice Ghana regarding concerns about DStv pricing in Ghana, following recent public debates and regulatory interventions.
In a press release dated 7th September 2025, the NCA confirmed it had received MultiChoice Ghana’s response to the notice of intention to suspend their authorization and request for a review of their pricing model. According to the regulator, further discussions have been held with MultiChoice Ghana to ensure transparency and compliance with Ghana’s communication laws.
Key Updates on DStv Pricing in Ghana
- MultiChoice Ghana’s agreement to participate – The company has agreed to the directive from the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology, and Innovation to join a Stakeholder Committee set up to evaluate DStv pricing in Ghana.
- Outcome to be determined – The NCA clarified that the final decision of the Stakeholder Committee will be announced after the conclusion of its work.
- Commitment to due process – MultiChoice assured that it will respect due process and the laws of Ghana in addressing the pricing concerns.
The first meeting of the Stakeholder Committee is scheduled for Monday, 8th September 2025, after which more clarity on pricing reforms is expected.
MultiChoice Ghana’s Position
In its own statement issued on 5th September 2025, MultiChoice Ghana emphasized its willingness to fully participate in the committee’s work. However, the company stressed that it has not agreed to any price reduction at this stage.
“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 jeopardize the viability of the DStv service,” the statement read.
The discussions on DStv pricing in Ghana are still ongoing, and no immediate price cuts have been announced. However, the involvement of the NCA and the government signals stronger regulatory oversight, which could lead to more consumer-friendly outcomes in the long run.
For now, subscribers should note that the current pricing remains unchanged until the Stakeholder Committee finalizes its recommendations.
