President John Dramani Mahama’s government has officially banned DSTV and other related Satellite TV subscriptions at the Jubilee House.
This was made public by government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu.
He explained that the decision is to cut down on unnecessary public spending, as the president is committed to humility and the shrewd use of state resources.
“I can reveal to you that if you come to this house, there’s no office in this house that is allowed to subscribe to DStv or any satellite television,” he told JoyNews in an interview
Adding that, “You would say that that is a trivial matter, but he has done that. Because when you computed the cost, it was significant money.”
Mr Kwakye Ofosu further said the presidency will rely on local channels for news updates
“You can turn on the television that you see here, you will find that I’m only limited to local television stations,” he said.
