The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has reacted to recent media publications concerning its operations.
In a statement released on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, the Authority denied reports by some media houses that a National Service Personnel stole from its coffers.
According to the earlier media reports, the National Service Personnel in question allegedly stole GH¢308,000 to purchase a Hyundai Elantra saloon car, a 50-inch Samsung TV, and to pay a sibling’s school fees.
The Authority however sought to clarify that that that the alleged money involved does not belong to the DVLA and was not stolen from any of its official accounts.
The institution however stated that the matter under investigation is a purely personal dispute involving a former National Service Personnel who is currently on a contract role with them.
“The matter under investigation is a personal dispute involving an individual who happens to be a former National Service Personnel assigned to the DVLA and currently on contract. At no point has the Authority suffered any financial loss in relation to this case.,” the statement read.
The management then urged media houses and the general public to exercise restraint and accuracy “in reporting on the matter to avoid creating the erroneous impression that public funds belonging to the DVLA have been misappropriated.”
DVLA then expressed its commitment towards upholding the highest standards of integrity and cooperating fully with the police.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority is the public institution responsible for the registration and licensing of vehicles and drivers in Ghana. It operates under the Ministry of Transport, ensuring road safety and standard compliance across the country while running secure financial systems for all its public transactions.
