Minister Samuel Nartey George made this announcement during a press meeting. The country currently offers about 1,500 to 2,000 digital services like payments and permits. Officials plan to launch the new version during the fourth quarter after picking a contractor. The upgraded platform will work faster and connect with Ghana Card identification. George also talked about inappropriate content on TikTok that goes against local values. He met with TikTok's West Africa team to push for local content reviewers. The government wants the Cybersecurity Authority to watch and remove bad content that could harm children. Officials proposed a new framework to control what people see online. They want to protect young people from harmful material. The Minister promised to lower DStv subscription costs for Ghanaians. He scheduled a meeting with MultiChoice Ghana and their South African bosses. They will discuss pricing that fits Ghana's economic situation better. Citizens have complained about expensive television packages. The government wants cheaper rates for local families. Radio stations face strict deadlines to fix their legal problems. The National Communications Authority shut down 62 stations for various violations. Only 18 stations started working to correct their issues. The President gave them 30 days to get their licenses and taxes right. Stations that show good effort will receive another 30-day extension to become fully compliant. [/QUOTE]
