Ghanas Minister of Communications, Sam George, on Friday confirmed that MultiChoice Ghana has agreed to reduce subscription fees after weeks of regulatory standoff with the government.
George announced the breakthrough at a press conference in Accra, saying the pay-TV operator finally submitted a full breakdown of its pricing model, including bouquet rates, tax components, and comparisons with at least six African markets.
The minister said the development paved the way for a pricing review committee that will determine the level of reduction by September 21. The committee, chaired by George, will include representatives of the Ministry of Communications, the National Communications Authority, and MultiChoice Ghana and Africa.
