For premium, Nigerians pay the equivalent of about GH₵208.10/month. For a 7.5% tax this works to a basic of GH₵193.58/month. Applying 28% in taxes on that amount will give only GH₵247.78. This is less than one third of ...

For premium, Nigerians pay the equivalent of about GH₵208.10/month. For a 7.5% tax this works to a basic of GH₵193.58/month. Applying 28% in taxes on that amount will give only GH₵247.78. This is less than one third of the ₵865.00 that Ghanaians are being over charged for the same service. Come again Mr MP of Abirem, Charles Owiredu. We await explanation.

I like figures, they put matters to rest right there. I hope these figures are right. I know Sam George is an Agricultural Engineer so he should establish his claims backed by figures for all to understand

It appears the minority group is bored in idleness and needs to be given work to do instead of wasting tax payers money in such useless pursuits. Sam George has not been an idle minister as many are. He worked to bring value to customers even if what he set out to achieve wasn't fully attained. In all 8years of NPP what happened to DSTV subscription rate reduction? They should not be making fool of themselves.

You lie. Even little Benin and Togo have lower DSTV rates. NPP will rot in opposition with this posture of supporting foreigners to defraud Ghanaians.

This same nonsense of frivolous levies are imposed on people who ship cars and other belongings home. Ghanaian Politicians are so stupid it seems there are no people with economic sense in Ghana. Frivolous levies bring inefficiency in the system. Why is Togo prospering in Commerce while Ghana is retrogressing?

If you don’t have a DStv subscription don’t comment.If you’re a tortoise and goods are selling cheaply on top of a tree it is not your concern.
