The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovation, Samuel Nartey George, has taken a swipe at persons who claimed that the 33 and 50 per cent increase in value of DStv subscriptions he announced in October 2025 was a promotion which was supposed to end in December 2025.

The minister made these remarks while reacting to a statement issued by the National Communications Authority (NCA), which indicated that the increase in value on subscriptions, which started on October 1, 2025, “remain in force.”

He reiterated his commitment to ensure that Ghanaians get value for their money.

“To those who claimed it was a 3-month DStv promotion, happy new year!
Our eyes remain fixed on the prize – better value and quality for Ghanaian citizens. For God and Country,” he wrote in a post shared on Facebook on December 31, 2025.

Sam George unveils enhanced DStv packages for Ghanaian subscribers

According to a statement issued by the National Communications Authority, the committee indicated that the new prices remain in force because Ghanaians have accepted them.

“The stakeholder committee established under the chairmanship of the Honourable Minister for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations (MoCDTI) to evaluate DStv pricing in Ghana continued to meet after the October 1, 2025, implementation of increased value for DStv subscribers in Ghana.

“The committee noted that the enhanced value packages were duly implemented as announced and remain in force. Ghanaians responded positively to the value increase, resulting in a significant increase in subscriptions,” part of the statement reads.

Under the new structure, subscribers on the Padi bouquet at GH¢59 will automatically be upgraded to Access worth GH¢99.

Access subscribers at GH¢99 will be moved to Family valued at GH¢190, while Family package holders paying GH¢190 will be upgraded to Compact at GH¢380, with access to live football matches.

Compact subscribers at GH¢380 will be moved to Compact Plus worth GH¢570, and Compact Plus customers paying GH¢570 will be upgraded to Premium, which costs GH¢865.

Premium subscribers will continue to enjoy the flagship bouquet and qualify for a chance to win trips to watch selected English Premier League matches.

In addition, MultiChoice Africa will subsidise the cost of Zapper decoders and dish kits by GH¢555, effectively reducing the price by half for new customers.
