Kotey also revealed that the DVLA recorded a 39% increase in revenue in 2025, attributing the growth to innovative policies implemented by the authority. In a separate announcement, the DVLA CEO outlined plans to roll out a demerit points system for reckless drivers. “The only way such people will return to the road is to return to driving school. This move is to ensure safety on Ghana’s roads and reduce the carnage,” Kotey explained. The initiatives reflect the DVLA’s dual focus on improving staff welfare while enhancing road safety nationwide.
