The Chief Executive of the Driver and Vehicle
Licensing Authority (DVLA) Mr. Julius Neeqaye Kotey has said the Authority will
continue to work in unison with the various operators at the ports who deal
with DVLA.
As an Authority, he said, DVLA will continue to
discharge its duties as required by law to ensure that clients are served with
improved and out most service delivery.
The Chief Executive said this when he led a team of
Management members including his Deputy, Foster Akwasi Asante Esq. to the DVLA
office at the Tema Port to have
first-hand information about their operations.
The working visit afforded the team, the opportunity
to interact with staff and operators who deal in DP plates.
Mr. Kotey said, the Authority has been mandated by law
to provide specific task saying that it was not going to renege on its
responsibilities but rather ‘go all out to discharge its mandate diligently’.
He cautioned the staff to refrain from acts that seek
to mar the image and reputation of the Authority, touching on compromising with
the system, relating with middlemen, popularly called ‘goro boys’, under dealing
among others as things that his administration will not countenance.
The staff, assured the Chief Executive and his team of
their unwavering support to ensure that their vision, mission and purpose of
their appointment is fulfilled.
The Golden Jubilee Terminal Manager of the Ghana Ports
and Habours Authority (GPHA), Ms. Angela Tawiah-Ahen assured the team of her outfit’s
determination and corporation to work together in a quest to put the two
agencies on ‘a higher footing’.
She however expressed concern about the time of close
of work by the bank and asked if that could be extended further.
According to her, considering the magnitude of work at
the port to be executed, they had no option but to work late into the night which
invariably makes it difficult to close their office to the public.
The Deputy Chief Executive, Foster Akwesi Asante Esq.
urged the staff to bring their expertise on board so together, ‘we can make
DVLA an enviable institution not only within the public sector but to other
sectors as well’.
He highlighted plans by the Authority to implement the
24-hour economy vision of the President, John Dramani Mahama, to facilitate
improved customer service.
Mr. Asante said being a strategic stakeholder of DVLA, he assured the Manager and her team of the Authority’s commitment to uphold a cordial working relationship while working together to secure our operations in line with best practices.
Experience seamless vehicle registration, driver’s license renewal, and real-time updates—all in one place.
