Dzataman, please those DSTV idiots are trying to play games with Ghanaians, so let them be on the circus stage alone.
The DSTV people are comfortable in the monopoly they are enjoying, so they have all time in the world to be making choices. Open up the game, and let's see who will come lobbying and making overtures
This populist minister mus5 come clear if the law that forces private businesses to reduce prices. Comparing pricing with other countries is senseless as pricing depends on the environment in which a business operates. Instea ...

Why this needless banter? Just get others in the space to offer DSTV stiff competition and we'll see if their folly will not end. They're holding us all by our marbles simply because they have monopolized the market. After al ...

Gyimee he is fighting for Ghanaian and you are fighting for polities
Obviously, such foolish talk has roots in a very bad upbringing, and poor education.
The minister is working to protect his country from exploitation by foreignerd, instead of conniving with them as others are known to have ...

@prince kwasi adade it's idiots like you drive people away from voting NPP. From your submission here the lowest Nigerian is far more intelligent than you.
He can't do Foko!!!
Nothing will happen masa. A Buga buga approach can't force any multinational company to reduced their price, especially when they have a product with no substitute.
Secondly, the Minister's initial a ...

I think Sam George is beginning to feel some pressure. He had hoped DSTV would back down after his bluff, which would have been a nice political move by him.
Now, it looks like they are calling his bluff, which is going to c ...

We need to support this move. All of us know that DStv services are cheaper everywhere than GH. Why? Someone must talk for GH and the minister is doing so and need the support of all. This is not politics although the current ...

I’m a big fan of DSTV but frankly speaking, shutting down DSTV is better to allow other satellite providers to come to our viewing space. Their prices are higher.
Shake up that sleepy, lifeless & old-fashioned Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC). Let them wake up from their deep slumber. They are such a lazy and wobbly organization. Equip them and give them the free hand to delve into ...

Where is the monopoly?. Nothing stops you from establishing similar company and provide the same service. Continue to believe the lies and arrogance of that minister.
Perfect, there are many providers around the world and we must engage them rather than multi choice

It's not a licencing issue legally, it's a monopoly pricing issue and as such not a NCA matter. This Minister keeps sticking his nose in things that are not his business just to get his daily news coverage.
So, Sam George has now become the law, wow. The correct use of language is negotiating table and not negotiation table. I want Sam George to ban me.
I said it! That, the language this recalcitrant dstv shylock hears, is "reall heavy spanking". Let him feel the pains, same like his wailing clients. An npp puppet and gladiator. With fully grown heartless Saddist wings
Sam drive these stupid dstv guys out of ghana. l have refused to renew my bouquet and each time they call me a cut the line. this how angry we are as consumers. what do they take us for ?

There are many sugar producing companies in Ghana.

If they fool just close sstv and find some different broadcasting channels for us imagine that they've close all avenues of other broadcasters reaching us and taken them all included in their criminal channel provisions.
The NDC can't close them down because they have taken money from them to monopolise the market. It the same deal they signed with Ghacem.
I told you so, that wait for Sam Jata George. Don't play with him and Ghana.
Close them down if they are not ready for negotiation. Ghanaians are too timid
And allow others to come in to the market to bring competition
That's all kick them out of the country, disrespectful is too much are they better than others like MTN or TELECEL who reduce their prices
DSTV should be shut down due to the level headedness of the management of the company. This beach group can't be more powerful than the central government
Typical Ghanaian foolishness. If your family member worked at DSTV will you be asking for it to be shut down so they lose their job? I don't understand you people. Why? is it by force to subscribe to DSTV? If you can't afford ...

So which company is next, Dzata Cement?
Nice comment my friend. They have to force Ibrahim Mahama too to bring down the price of cement.
He will have the government lose in court, not good for the president and the AG. They will stop him soon enough.
CLOSE THEM DOWN .
Tone down young man you are too arrogant. This boy should not be a substantive minister. I think he should rather be a deputy. His posturing is too arrogant.
Hon. Please don't allow multichoice ghana to turn you into a football to be dribbled around. The scheduled engagement is already yielding no results. SHUT IT DOWN NOW!!!, TODAY 6TH SEPTEMBER 2025.

Minister Sam, don"t take your eyes off, the ball.Penalty infringements are on the way before full time. Betting npp schemers with touchline-strings in this ding-dong match, will laugh at the wrong side of their mouths.
Where did diplomacy go to? Even ET Mensah is no more. Tone down, the arrogance is too much.

But I prefer Ben Ephson’s opinion polling. I have no doubt Ben Ephson would have provided accurate %s in the morning of the bye-election.

This MP is beyond arrogance - everyone says it. Pride comes before a fall. Tap into the Christian you profess to be.
Does he know the meaning of disrespect. Mchewww
You made a fool of yourself, you are in negotiations with a partner, all ya gotta do is wait for finalization before jumping the gun
He was in a rush to sell something to the gullible NDC followers to buy.
DSTV Ghana is a criminal organizations that prey on innocent Ghanaians
So as a minister, you don't understand the ward Deplomasy

DSTV should not behave as if they are Above the law. Ghanaians can do without them for a while until another provider comes
