In a statement, the NCA said that while reviewing MultiChoice’s response, there have been other engagements after the DStv owners made a public statement on Friday, September 5, 2025.
The said engagement saw MultiChoice clarify its stance on the issue. They agreed to work with the Stakeholder Committee and respect the laws of Ghana and its people.
“MultiChoice Ghana agrees with the directive from the Honourable Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations for the establishment of the Stakeholder Committee to evaluate DSTV pricing in Ghana and that they intend to fully participate in this work.”
“The outcome of the Stakeholder Committee would be determined at the end of its work.”
“MultiChoice has confirmed that it will respect due process and the laws of Ghana and its people.”
The NCA added that the Stakeholder Committee would hold its first meeting on Monday, September 8, 2025.
The NCA finally indicated that it will make the public aware of any new developments on the matter in due course.

“Massa DStv doesn’t respect us, Ghanaians. They should shut down after the stakeholders’ engagement, then restore them. How can you disrespect a whole minister by making it look like he lied to the country?”

“We don’t need them again … they have seen that the dollar is going up so now they want to negotiate, and when the dollar rises to about 14 or 15, they would get back to their monopoly tactics… cancel DSTV in Ghana altogether and give us a different option for football.”

“@samgeorgegh, please just shut them off after the meeting and the agreement, then you decide when it starts operating.”

“Even MultiChoice is aware that there are laws in Ghana. Surprisingly, some people were asking which law Sam George is going to use to shut down DStv. Ghanaians are not worth fighting for.”
