The Chief Executive of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), Mr.

Julius Neequaye Kotey, has held strategic discussions with the Excavator Tracking Team of the Minerals Commission in Accra to explore collaborative efforts in regulating the use of excavators in Ghana's mining sector.

The high-level meeting, held at the Minerals Commission headquarters, forms part of broader efforts to tackle illegal mining and the environmental degradation associated with the unregulated use of heavy-duty equipment.

This engagement follows the formation of a ministerial task force by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, mandated to develop a framework for the registration, tracking, and monitoring of excavators nationwide.
