The Ghana Television (GTV) social media admin has launched an attack on Ghanaian entrepreneur and investor Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ) , over his failure to pay his TV licence.
According to the GTV social media admin, Richard Nii Armah Quaye has a lot of money but has failed to pay his TV license.
In a Facebook Post on their official page, GTV stated, “Richard Nii-Armah Quaye has a lot of money, but he has not paid the TV licence fee🤔Code: *447*333#”
Also, Richard Nii Armah Quaye has gained international recognition after being featured in Forbes for his groundbreaking contributions to business and community development in Ghana.
Richard Nii Armah Quaye has supported Ghanaian businesses like Chickenman-Pizzaman, Sankofa Natural Spices, and Tigon Creative Studios.
Richard Nii Armah Quaye recently launched the RNAQ Food Banks in August 2025 to provide free daily meals to more than 17,000 people across five locations.
Meanwhile, the GTV admin has launched social media attacks on some Members of parliament and also other influential Ghanaians who have failed to pay their TV license in recent weeks.
The Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) has called on Ghanaians to pay their TV license fees.
According to the GBC, the state broadcaster must fulfil its mandate of providing quality content that reflects the country’s diversity.
The Director General of GBC, Professor Amin Alhassan, has noted that the TV license fee has remained unchanged for years, and is essential for the corporation’s survival.
Furthermore, the GTV have faced a barrage of criticisms from frustrated Ghanaians following their inability to telecast the Black Stars’ World Cup qualifiers.
The administrator of GTV’s social media platforms revealed the station is unable to show the games due to the need to pay a hefty sum of $750,000 to acquire the rights to broadcast the matches.
In a post, the GTV social media admin stated, “It is easy to take a feed and show it live. What is not easy is coughing up $750,000 ( GH¢9.1M) to pay for it. It does not take a ‘useless station’ to produce football matches to FIFA standards. There are real issues we need to address. After the privileged few have finished watching the match on satellite TV, we can now talk about how to bring World Cup matches to the masses”.
The TV license fee was introduced by the British nearly 100 years ago as a legal requirement for all Ghanaians who own a television or radio.
The TV license fee stands at GH₵36 for one TV set annually and GH₵60 for two or more TV sets. In commercial and industrial setups like hotels, every single TV set attracts a fee of GH₵36 each.
Ghanaians are urged to pay their TV license fee by simply dialling USSD code *447*333#.
