Ejisu: 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.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Quaye announced 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 growth target will necessitate the expansion of service points, strict enforcement of compliance, and full utilisation of digital platforms, including the Vehicle Registration System (VRS) and additional systems currently being deployed.
Mr. Quaye also issued a stern warning against corruption within the Authority, highlighting that any loss to fraud is a loss to the Republic. '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 urged them to make road safety the central theme of their leadership, noting that many vehicles in Ghana remain unchecked for roadworthiness. He instructed each region to develop bi-annual road safety strategies and strengthen collaboration with the Police MTTD to improve compliance.
The Board Chairman also praised Mr. Julius Neequaye Kotey, the Chief Executive Officer of the DVLA, for his leadership and tasked him to fully operationalise the Research Advisory and Data Services framework. This initiative aims to position the Authority as a hub of evidence-based insights for national policy.
Concluding his address, Mr. Quaye reminded staff of the Authority's broader mission, stating: '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 was attended by the Deputy Minister for Transport, the Ashanti Regional Minister, DVLA Board Members, Management, Regional Managers, and staff.
