  "account": "The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) reported generating over GH¢27 million from temporary vehicle registration stickers between January and September 2026, as reported by Julius Neequaye Kotey, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DVLA. This revenue increase comes after amendments were made to prevent revenue leakages in the distribution of DP plates at the country's ports. Kotey shared these figures during a Government Accountability Series event. In 2025, DVLA issued 111,101 stickers, resulting in revenue of GH¢22 million. In 2026 alone, from January to September, they issued 134,000 DP stickers, exceeding GH¢27 million in revenue. Kotey explained that this surge is due to the transition from aluminium plates to tamper-proof digital stickers, along with a system requiring a sticker before vehicles leave the port. In 2024, DVLA issued 76,312 DP plates, earning them GH¢15 million in revenue. The CEO emphasized that revenue from stickers grew from GH¢15 million in 2024 to GH¢22 million in 2025, and then surpassed GH¢27 million in the first nine months of 2026. Kotey noted that the reforms were initiated following the identification of substantial revenue leakages in the sale and distribution of DP plates at port entry points. He stated that replacing aluminium plates with digital stickers has helped curb these losses and funnel the proceeds to the government. However, he did not disclose the estimated amount of revenue potentially lost under the previous system.",
