Multichoice on Tuesday reduced significantly its DStv subscription prices in a bid to ensure their customers get both local and international channels at affordable prices, effective 1 September, 2017.
The move came amid tough economic times and according to the Multichoice Kenya MD, Eric Odipo, they are ever aware of their customers needs.
āWe want to reward them for their ongoing loyalty and support by providing them with the best local and international entertainment. We will do our bit by adjusting the price of their DStv packages to make them more affordable while adding more value,ā said Odipo.
āThe majority of our input costs are in US dollars and we hope we wonāt experience any further currency devaluations or other unexpected increases in costs for the remainder of the year. We will continue to review pricing from time to time, taking into account the economic conditions of our operations.ā
