Mr. George Spencer Quaye,the Board Chairman of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), has challenged the staff of the Authority to strive to achieve a 60 per cent increase in revenue by the next Mid- Year Review in 2026.
Speaking during the closing ceremony of the DVLA 2025 Mid-Year Review Conference at Ejisu in the Ashanti Region, Mr Quaye emphasised the need for the Authority to move beyond routine processes and embrace bold, disciplined, and innovative strategies to enhance service delivery.
He said it had set a new ambitious mandate to increase DVLA's projected revenues from GHS 649 million in 2025 to at least GHS 1.038 billion by mid-2026.
This, he noted, would require expansion of service points, strict enforcement of compliance, and full utilisation of digital platforms, including the Vehicle Registration System (VRS) and new systems being deployed.
Mr. Quaye also cautioned the staff against corruption, warning that every cedi lost to fraud was a cedi stolen from the Republic and would not entertain such actions.
"The Board will not tolerate corruption. We will protect integrity, reward transparency, and hold accountable anyone who puts personal gain above national duty," he stated.
Addressing regional managers, the DVLA Chairman charged them to make road safety the central theme of their leadership, noting that a significant portion of Ghana's vehicles remain unchecked for roadworthiness.
He directed each regions to develop bi-annual road safety strategies and strengthen coll to improve compliance.
The Board Chairman also commended Mr. Julius Neequaye Kotey, the Chief Executive Officer of the DVLA, for his outstanding leadership and tasked him to fully operationalise the Research Advisory and Data Services framework to position the Authority as a hub of evidence-based insights for national policy.
Closing his address, Mr. Quaye reminded staff that DVLA was more than an Authority, saying: "It is a custodian of life, a guardian of order, and a driver of national development. Let us not just manage transport - let us redefine it."
The 2025 Mid-Year Review Conference brought together the Deputy Minister for Transport, the Ashanti Regional Minister, DVLA Board Members, Management, Regional Managers, and staff.
