In a bold cost-cutting move, President John Mahama has banned all DSTV and satellite TV subscriptions at Jubilee House, Ghana’s presidential residence. And that’s not all — he’s planning to extend the ban to all government agencies across the country.
The decision is part of a broader effort to cut down on unnecessary government spending.
💬 What’s the Reason?
Sources close to the presidency say the ban is to:
• Eliminate “non-essential luxuries” in public offices
• Encourage productivity and focus
• Redirect funds to critical national priorities
“We must lead by example,” a government insider said. “If we ask Ghanaians to tighten their belts, leadership must do the same.”
🏛️ What’s Next?
If this move is rolled out nationwide:
• Ministries, departments, and agencies may lose access to paid TV services.
• Funds saved may be redirected toward education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
📡 Mixed Reactions Online
Social media users are split. Some praise the decision as a responsible step, while others wonder if it’s more symbolic than impactful, given the relatively low cost of subscriptions compared to bigger spending items.
