Julius Neequaye Kotey, the CEO of Ghana\u2019s Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), has proposed formalizing the operations of unofficial middlemen, known as \u201cgoro boys,\u201d who facilitate vehicle registration and licensing services. Kotey argues that integrating these informal agents into a regulated system would improve efficiency and transparency in the licensing process.<\/p>\n

Instead of fighting these middlemen, Kotey suggests bringing them on board and regularizing their activities. This approach would provide clarity and fairness in service charges, ensuring that they don\u2019t charge beyond a certain amount. Kotey plans to train these agents to eliminate undesirable practices and establish clear guidelines for their operations, similar to how agents operate at the port.<\/p>\n

He said this in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t we regularize what they do?\u201d Kotey asked. \u201cIt is because we have been fighting them for the past years, and the story is the same. Why don\u2019t we bring them on board? I am not saying we need to employ all of them, but we have to bring them on board and regularize what they do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DVLA CEO further stated that his proposal involves training these informal agents to eliminate undesirable practices and establish clear guidelines for their operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to train them, so we will be able to do away with what they do that we don\u2019t agree with. There is going to be a clear-cut point on what they must do and what they cannot do, just like the way agents operate at the port,\u201d Kotey said.<\/p>\n

Kotey\u2019s proposal aims to improve the overall vehicle registration and licensing experience in Ghana. As the newly appointed CEO of DVLA, Kotey brings extensive experience in public policy, compliance, and driver licensing systems. His leadership is expected to enhance efficiency and compliance within Ghana\u2019s transport sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
