Standard Data Bundle Prices Are 10% to 15% Cheaper Than Before We Came Into Government – Sam George

According to a report by The 1957News on Monday October 12, 2026, the Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has stated that standard data bundle prices in Ghana are now between 10% and 15% cheaper than they were before the current government assumed office.

According to the minister, the reduction in data prices reflects changes in the telecommunications sector under the current administration. His statement highlights the government’s efforts to address concerns about the cost of internet access and make digital services more affordable for Ghanaians.

Data bundles have become an important part of everyday life, as many people rely on mobile internet for communication, education, business, entertainment and access to information. However, the cost of data has remained a major concern for many consumers, particularly students, small business owners and people who depend on internet services for their daily activities.

The minister’s statement is expected to attract public attention as discussions continue over the affordability and accessibility of internet services in the country.

Lower data prices could help consumers spend less on internet access while allowing more people to participate in digital activities. Affordable internet services are also important for businesses that depend on online platforms to reach customers and promote their products.

However, the impact of the reported reduction may vary depending on the type of data bundle consumers purchase and their individual usage patterns.

The government has faced calls from the public to ensure that telecommunications services remain affordable and accessible. Internet users have also continued to express concerns about the amount of data they receive compared with the money they spend.

Sam George’s statement places the issue of data affordability at the centre of the ongoing conversation about digital access in Ghana.

The minister’s claim is likely to generate further discussions about the cost of internet services and whether consumers are experiencing the reported reductions in their everyday purchases of data bundles.
