The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Julius Neequaye Kotei, has issued a strong warning against illegal licensing activities within the agency, vowing to prosecute any staff found engaging in such corrupt practices.
Kotei expressed grave concern over the fraudulent issuance of licenses, emphasizing that these activities pose a significant risk to road safety. "Those who engage in these acts are endangering lives on the road, and I will ensure that they are removed and prosecuted," he cautioned.
He underscored the need for all drivers to go through the proper licensing process to enhance road safety.
The DVLA boss further revealed that he is actively monitoring the agency's operations and has launched investigations into allegations of staff colluding with unauthorized middlemen, commonly referred to as "Goro boys," to facilitate illegal licensing. "When people remain in one place for too long, they build connections with these 'goro boys' and start extorting money to issue licenses fraudulently.
