The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has denied social media reports that it’s Chief Executive Officer is leading a special task force to destroy vital vehicle documents.

“The management of the Authority wishes to explain that there is no iota of truth whatsoever in the story, and it must therefore be ignored,” the authority noted in a statement released in Accra yesterday.

The following is the full statement, which was signed by Kwaku Darko Aferi, Public Relations Manager.

The attention of the management of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has been drawn to information making the rounds in the media, especially social media, speculating that the Chief Executive of the Authority is leading a special task force to destroy vital vehicle documents.

The management of the Authority wishes to explain that there is no iota of truth whatsoever in the story and it must therefore be ignored. It will be recalled that at the beginning of this year, DVLA started a process towards digitising all vehicle records for reasons pertaining to overcrowded storage facilities, the potential for some documents to be destroyed due to improper storage and most important of all, the indispensable need for the Authority to keep very good vehicle records that could be retrieved, at the press of a button, and enhance its work.

For purposes of convenience, the Authority agreed a time table with the company doing the digitisation, Intelligent Card Processing Systems (ICPS), and also insisted that the documents should be moved in batches, so that, at any point in time, some documents will be available, so that the Authority’s work did not suffer.

Three days ago, ICPS finished one set of documents and returned them to the Accra 37 office, and those are the documents seen in the vehicle in the pictures that are making the rounds.

Indeed, in the course of the exercise, the Authority placed advertisements in the Daily Graphic and Ghanaian Times newspapers, explaining the significance of the exercise to customers, the impact it would have on our work, and solicited their support to ensure a successful digitisation exercise.

Once again, management of the Authority wishes to assure the general public that the Chief Executive is not a cousin to Her Excellency, Madam Lordina Mahama, and that he is not leading any task force to destroy documents of government vehicles. The story making the rounds is, therefore, completely false, and it must be ignored.
