DVLA staff urged to work with sense of duty 

The Chief Executive of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority, DVLA, Kwasi Agyeman Busia has urged staff of the Authority, particularly those who deal directly with clients, to be committed in the discharge of their duties. 

They should also work with a sense of duty to achieve excellence.
 
The Chief Executive said this when he paid a working visit to the Winneba, Cape Coast, Takoradi and Tarkwa offices of the Authority to familiarize himself with  activities there. 

Accompanied by some management staff of the Authority, the team interacted with the staff on a wide range of issues and also inspected ongoing projects at some of the offices. 
 
Mr. Busia said the landscape of the Authority is growing given the increasing number of motor vehicles on the road and it is important that workers step up effort by responding promptly to the needs of customers.

The Chief Executive described as worrying the tag that staff members of the Authority are corrupt and urged them to erase that image through the provision of consistent, predictable and excellent service. 

On road accidents, Mr. Busia said, apart from bad roads and vehicles, human activities also contribute to accidents.
 
He tasked the workers to do their best to better manage the process of driver and vehicle licensing. 

Motor vehicles, Mr.Busia said, can be useful and reliable machines but can also be a weapon for destruction.

The Chief Executive announced that the Authority is coming up with ICT solutions that will discourage middlemen from interfering in activities of the Authority.
