Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president and 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is advocating for significant changes to the driver’s license renewal procedure.
Dr. Bawumia is suggesting that the two-year renewal term be extended to ten years, which would be more convenient.
Speaking to chiefs and other stakeholders in Boadua, in the Eastern Region’s Akwatia Constituency, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the difficulties drivers encounter under the existing system, which necessitates license holders to renew their certificates every two years.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) enforces this legislation, which frequently results in authorities and law enforcement harassing drivers for not renewing.
Dr. Bawumia criticized the present system, calling it an unnecessary discomfort, “Drivers are here. Today, the driver’s licence expires every two years. Let us extend it, be it 8 years or 10 years. Let us make sure you can have a driver’s licence without having to renew it every year.”
“It does not make sense, and so by the grace of God, we would make changes” he added.
