Why must I renew my vehicle’s registration number every 2 years?
Apart from extorting money from Ghanaian car owners and politicians making money from procurement, what exactly is the rationale for the 2-yearly renewal of vehicle registration numbers?
The continual renewal of a vehicle's registration number in Ghana every two years has raised questions about its necessity and the true purpose behind it. Critics argue that this practice not only extracts money from car owners but also enriches politicians and their business associates through procurement deals. The rationale behind the system remains unclear, as there is no mention of physical inspections for older vehicles, such as the trotro buses or taxis, operating without proper functioning brakes.
Even when these vehicles pass DVLA roadworthy checks, the validity of these certificates and stickers is questionable. The recurring issue reveals a pattern of taxation on a specific group of citizens to benefit a select few, with little regard for road safety or the genuine needs of the public.
