Samuel Nartey George, the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, has announced that government negotiations with telecommunications and pay-TV operators have led to significant cost reductions for digital services in Ghana. Speaking at the Government Accountability Series in Accra, Mr George highlighted that DStv packages introduced in October 2025 have remained in effect despite predictions of price reversals.
The enhanced value DStv packages have sustained their benefits for Ghanaian households. The Minister also revealed that mobile network operators increased data volumes on bundles by 15% in 2025, with MTN and Telecel and AirtelTigo raising allocations by 10%. Furthermore, MTN has reduced its fibre broadband prices by up to 70%, bringing the monthly cost of a 100 Mbps unlimited fibre package down from GH¢987 to GH¢299.
Mr George emphasized that this Ministry understands the industry and negotiates on behalf of the Ghanaian consumer, rather than the operators.
