DVLA cuts roadworthy contract cost from $155.4m to GH¢2m – CEO
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) says it has reduced the cost of its roadworthy certificate service agreement from $155.4 million to GH¢2 million following a review and renegotiation of the contract.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has significantly reduced the cost of its roadworthy certificate service agreement from $155.4 million to just GH¢2 million, according to the Authority's CEO Julius Neequaye Kotey. The reduction came following a review and renegotiation of the contract, announced by Mr. Kotey during the Government Accountability Series on Monday, October 12, 2026.
Previously, the Authority had committed to annual payments of $51.8 million between 2023 and 2026, amounting to a total of $155.4 million over three years. However, the renegotiated agreement now covers the same period of 2026 to 2028, but at a total cost of just GH¢2 million for the entire three-year period.
This change represents a substantial reduction in the Authority's contractual expenditure. Mr. Kotey estimated that the new arrangement could result in annual savings of about $50 million, a stark contrast to the previous agreement. He highlighted that this reduction stands in stark contrast to the financial practices of the past government.
