Jubilee House Saves ₵120,000 Monthly After Cancelling TV Subscriptions

The Jubilee House says ₵120,000 is saved monthly after President John Dramani’s directive to have all TV subscriptions cancelled.

The Minister for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, stated that this was in response to the discovery of the whooping amount these subscriptions were draining from the country’s coffers.

In an interview, he said, it was part of efforts to cut profligate government expenditure to make way for essential national expenditure.

“When we came to the Jubilee House, there were multiple subscriptions in addition to the local channels that we watched. When we took stock and did the calculations, we realised we were spending about GH₵120,000 monthly just on satellite subscriptions. President Mahama has cancelled all of that.”

The government intends to channel the amount into viable developmental projects.

“There are communities where a broken water pump costing GH₵1,000 is all that stands between them and access to clean water. Yet, here we were spending GH₵120,000 just to watch TV.”
