This may come as a surprise to many considering the opposition being raised about the payment of the fee by scores of residents in Accra.
Many have since raised concerns over the reintroduction of the license, saying that the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) cannot impose a levy on Ghanaians since it is no more a public service broadcaster.
Meanwhile, controversial private legal practitioner, Maurice Ampaw has said that it will be unwise for anyone to refuse to pay the TV licence in the country.

According to him, taking a stance not to pay smacks of foolishness considering the cost involved when you are charged with defying the law.
Per the TV licence regulation, dealers in television sets will pay GH¢5 per month, while commercial license users will pay GH¢3 per month for a television set. The payment will double based on the number of devices.
