The Board Chairman of DVLA, Frank Davies said the image of the authority prior to the assumption in office by the current board members was bad.

The Minister said the latest innovation DVLA has brought in acquiring documents is the online vehicle registration system which he stressed has removed the consistent bureaucratic delays associated with the manual registration process.
The Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa urged DVLA not to relent in their efforts to bring about reforms that would benefit their clients and the country as a whole.
