Why does DSTV cost more in Ghana than every west African country?
It doesn't make any sense. Good job by the government.

DSTV please pass this fine on the subscribers. We would gladly pay. Stay resolute and don’t back down. If you can’t pay for your subscription, you can watch GTV or Obonu TV.

It's a well known fact that DSTV overcharge in GH. Yes because everything in GH cost more than everywhere else. Some people buy the decoders from other African countries to use in GH. Sam George please don't give up

We expect government to give us data on duty and taxes at our Port so we can compare with Togo and Nigeria. We need to understand why Ghanaians are asked to pay more duty.

Populist agenda nkoaa!!! The same government pretending to care about us is over burdening us with taxes and the time it claims that the economy is doing well.
LPG and Petrol prices are going up next week, electricity tariffs gone up by 14.7% , 1 Ghs levy on a litre of fuel, high port duties etc. these affects every Ghanain. This is where we should be channelling our anger towards.

The questions you're asking can be found in DSTV's price build-up which they are refusing to submit. Considering their income, the GHC10,000 fine is chicken feed to Multichoice and must be doubled in a compounded manner every week that they refuse to comply.

I have been trying to understand what good governance in this context is. First of all, DSTv can take their services elsewhere, creating some extent of unemployment, continue paying the 10,000 daily fee or whatever and pass it onto the consumer, or sit and have a conversation with Sam George. At the end of the day, is DSTv a necessity that affects the majority of the population? That is a private business, which must be regulated through the laws of demand and supply. They have not put a gun at any Ghanaian to force them to subscribe to their services. Ghana has GTV. If the operations of TV stations in Ghana were as simple as some of you want us to believe, the Government of Ghana should have expanded GTV to provide the services of DSTV, making it cheaper for close to 90% subscription. We failed, and locals don't even want to patronize the government owned stations.

Rather than forcing them to reduce prices, which is interference that can backfire, how about you advise the general public to subscribe to what they can afford or may be boycott their services. No democratic government minister anywhere wastes time embarrassing their offices this way; you can negotiate, but with decorum.

I have been trying to understand the essence of some of the argument here. Are we an authoritarian country. Even in authoritarian nations, businesses are allowed to operate, and it is the reactions of consumers that determine the continued existence of such businesses. If prices are too high, it isn't the government that will interfere, but the actions of consumers who, if Sam George's argument were to hold, would boycott DSTV.

First of all, DSTv can take their services elsewhere, creating some extent of unemployment, continue paying the 10,000 daily fee or whatever and pass it onto the consumer, or sit and have a conversation with Sam George. At the end of the day, is DSTv a necessity that affects the majority of the population? That is a private business, which must be regulated through the laws of demand and supply.

The minister's office should look into the frequency and length of advert breaks on a paid subscription service in the country.
