Davis Ansah Opoku, the member of parliament for Mpraeso and a member of the Information and Communications Committee of Parliament, has called on the government and telecommunications to introduce fixed monthly data packages with unlimited access.
The lawmaker noted that the proposal will enable the inclusion and price stability.
Davis Ansah Opoku further commended Samuel Nartey George for the recent increase in data packages.
Speaking on Channel One News on Friday, July 4, Davis Ansah Opoku stated, “I think it is very welcoming. When data prices are reduced, it is something that Ghanaian people will be excited about.
As the minister said, the DSTV directive is as a result of the appreciation of the Ghana cedi, and this is something that we expected the telcos to have done, and so for him to have prompted them is something that deserves commendation”.
He added, “However, we are looking forward to some pragmatic steps, so that even if the dollar depreciates, we will still have reduced prices.
I am looking forward to a fixed rate where Ghanaians enjoy unlimited services every month. And so it is a good step and we commend him for that,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sam George, in a meeting with MultiChoice Ghana on Thursday, July 4, urged the company to reduce DStv subscription fees by 30%.
