The Transport Minister (2nd right) cutting the tape to commission the new office<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Transport Minister, Kwaku Ofori
\nAsiamah has officially commissioned a multipurpose office complex for the
\nDriver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) at Axim-Ayisakro in the Nzema
\nEast Municipality of the Western Region as part of a move to bring DVLA
\nservices closer to clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new office would carry out
\nvehicle inspection, issue road worthy certificates and driver licenses to
\napplicants in the Municipality and other adjoining districts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
These include Ellembelle, Joomoro and
\nparts of Tarkwa-Nsuaem Municipality.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Transport Minister pointed out
\nthat the government was committed to extend the services of the DVLA to the
\ndoor steps of Ghanaians.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He bemoaned the fact that whilst in
\nadvance countries, growing vehicles on the road was leading to reductions of
\nroad crushes; the reverse was the situation in the developing world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He regretted that in spite of
\nconcrete and the tangible efforts by government to help curb road accidents,
\nthe country was still recording loss of lives, due to the indiscipline on the
\nroads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reiterated the readiness of his
\nMinistry to work closely with all major players in the road transport sector
\nand the subsectors to bring down the rate of accidents in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to him, the transformation
\nof the country\u2019s economy and the improvement in the living conditions of the
\npeople could only be achieved if the country\u2019s transport infrastructure was put
\nin shape.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pointed out that the new road
\ntraffic regulations made it mandatory for all drivers to go through thorough
\nre-examination before renewing their licenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He, therefore, tasked the workers of
\nthe Authority to treat those who would visit the facility with respect and
\ndignity, adding that \u201cit is the surest way of enjoying support from the
\nbeneficiary communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Emmanuel Narh, Western Regional
\nDirector of DVLA noted that the Authority would not compromise when it comes to
\nthe delivery of quality services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He mentioned that the commissioning
\nof the new office formed part of steps taken to decentralize their operation to
\npromote quality customer service.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that the new office
\nwould help to significantly reduce the pressure on their facilities in Tarkwa
\nand Takoradi.<\/p>\n
The DVLA, he noted, was determined to
\nuphold best practices to ensure road safety and reminded drivers to observe
\ntraffic regulations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDrivers must comply with speed
\nlimits, avoid driving when tired, check the tyre pressure and should regularly
\nmaintain their vehicles\u201d, he stressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the
\narea, Catherine Abelema Afeku was grateful to the Ministry of Transport and the
\nBoard members of the DVLA for the establishment of the new office in her
\nconstituency and said it was a huge relief to the people, particularly
\ndrivers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Nzema East Municipal Chief
\nExecutive, Frank Okpeyen was hopeful that the Authority would act boldly to
\nprevent the activities of middlemen, popularly referred to as \u201cGoro Boys\u201d at
\nthe new office.<\/p>\n
