The newly appointed Board Chairman of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Mr. George Spencer Quaye, has begun his tenure with a strong show of collaborative leadership by engaging two of his predecessors—Brigadier General I.B. Quartey (Rtd) and Frank Davies, Esq—for strategic consultations ahead of his first official board meeting.

In a move widely hailed as a mark of humility and forward-thinking, Mr. Quaye’s outreach underscores his belief in drawing from institutional memory to shape a progressive future. “I believe in the power of learning from those who have walked this path before us,” he said, adding that the experiences of past leaders are essential in guiding the Authority’s next chapter.

The meetings, held ahead of the Authority’s first board session under his chairmanship, emphasized the importance of continuity, unity and shared purpose as key drivers of reform. The consultations covered critical issues such as, Improving service delivery to enhance public satisfaction, strengthening regulatory frameworks to boost road safety, integrating modern technology into DVLA operations and aligning the Authority’s work with Ghana’s broader development agenda.

Mr. Quaye, who brings a strong background in technology and innovation, is committed to transforming DVLA in line with the President’s national agenda for institutional reform and digital advancement. His leadership philosophy blends fresh ideas with tested experience, fostering a culture of inclusion and collaboration.

“The insights shared by Brigadier General Quartey and Lawyer Davies will be instrumental as we embark on this journey of transformation in resetting Ghana,” Mr. Quaye noted. He emphasized that his vision for the Authority includes a stronger partnership with stakeholders across the public and private sectors.

Beyond internal operations, the new Chairman aims to position DVLA as a vital contributor to national development. “We are not just managing licences and vehicle registrations; we are contributing to the safety, efficiency and prosperity of our beloved nation,” he affirmed.

As Ghana aspires to lead in innovation and public sector excellence within the sub-region, Mr. Quaye’s leadership promises a DVLA that is not only efficient and technologically advanced but also reflective of the values of service, respect and national pride.

His tenure is expected to mark the beginning of a new era—one defined by collaboration, innovation and a renewed commitment to making DVLA a world-class institution that serves the Ghanaian public with excellence in line with His Excellency President John Mahama’s Resetting Ghana Agenda.
