B. Quartey (Retired), the Board Chairman, said the move was to ensure that the Authority took on some of the jobs that could be performed by its own staff instead of giving these out to third parties. Flowing from this, he announced that, 128 additional personnel \u2013 mostly technicians were going to be employed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nThis comes amid steps by the government to grant operational autonomy and wean the DVLA and other agencies that are doing well financially off its support. Brig-Gen Quartey, addressing the opening session of a two-day workshop at Fumesua near Kumasi, said it needed to adopt a proactive approach to its operations to remain in business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n\u201cIf we have to survive \u2013 to be able to pay ourselves, meet other capital and administrative expenditure, then we need to change the face of the DVLA.\u201d\u00a0 The workshop, attended by national, regional and district officers from across the country is discussing the Authority\u2019s 2016 work plan and budget.\u201dChanging the face of DVLA towards self-sustenance and reliability of service\u201d was the theme.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nBrig-Gen Quartey called for complete elimination from its system, corrupt practices and middlemen, popularly referred to as \u2018goro boys\u2019, to rake in more revenue without compromising safety. He told the workers to adopt new work ethics to regain public confidence and warned of swift and decisive action against acts of indiscipline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nMr. John Noble Appiah, the Chief Executive Officer, underlined its determination to invest in the human resource and technical operations to deliver quality services to the public. He vowed to wage war on corrupt practices and encouraged the regional and district managers to show strong leadership to achieve desired results.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\nSource: GNA<\/p>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container\">&#13;<br \/>\n                    <\/aside>\n<p><!-- Share buttons by mashshare.net - Version: 2.4.2--><\/section>\n<p><!-- end .entry-content --><!-- begin #review-box --><!-- end #review-box --><!-- Begin BidVertiser code --><!-- End BidVertiser code --><!-- begin .entry-tags --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-tags\">\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/thechronicle.com.gh\/tag\/dvla\/\" rel=\"tag\">DVLA<\/a><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<p><!-- end .entry-tags --><!-- begin .gp-pagination-single --><!-- end .gp-pagination-single --><!-- begin .gp-author-box --><!-- end .gp-author-box --><!-- begin .gp-comments --><br \/>\n\t<!-- end .gp-comments --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] &#13; The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has been directed to put on hold, renewal of all expired or expiring contracts pending thorough evaluation.Brigadier General I.
