BREAKING: Ghana Threatens to Shut Down DStv [Deadline]

Ghana threatens to shut down DStv if it fails to slash subscription fees by 30% today amid rising public outcry over high costs.

In a dramatic turn of events, the Ghanaian government has issued a stern ultimatum to satellite television provider, DStv, demanding an immediate 30% reduction in subscription fees. Authorities warned that failure to comply with the directive today could lead to a complete shutdown of DStv’s operations in the country.

The move comes amid growing public outrage over rising subscription costs, which many Ghanaians say are no longer affordable in the face of economic hardship.

Officials noted that while other countries across Africa enjoy relatively lower subscription rates, Ghanaian customers continue to face steep charges. This, they argue, has fueled widespread dissatisfaction and complaints to regulatory bodies.

Government sources insist that the demand is non-negotiable, stressing that protecting consumers from exploitation remains a top priority. “We will not allow multinational corporations to take advantage of Ghanaians. DStv must reduce its prices by 30% today or face closure,” a government spokesperson reportedly declared.

The ultimatum has sparked nationwide debate, with many subscribers expressing support for the government’s bold stance. Others, however, worry that an abrupt shutdown could leave millions of households without access to television entertainment and news.

As the deadline draws closer, all eyes are on DStv’s response. The coming hours may determine whether Ghana witnesses a groundbreaking consumer victory or a media blackout.
