Drivers' Hospital? This is just a way for someone to make illegal money.

Seriously misplaced priorities. There are so many issues which falls within the mandate of the DVLA and being addressed but you are going to build a hospital. Next time you will say you are building a chop bar. Wake up.

This DVLA Boss is in a rush to “create milk and drink”. Instead of concentrating on his job he’s ether criticizing opposition without credible evidence, updating digital records by asking car owners to physically present themselves (what a ridiculous Stone Age nonsense) for digital updates. In this computer and digital age why not create short codes? Daft and Dumb man. If he’s allowed by government to build this hospital it will spell the doom. Will teachers, engineers, farmers, akpeteshie sellers, market women and drunkards all ask for their own hospital too? Gyimie ne ns3m fooo. Buluuu. Stop the foolishness. CHOPCHOP NKOAAA

a gentle reminder when the new number plates comes out u have to renew it every 2years. When u sell ur car u remove the number plate and the new owner gets a new one what happened to change if ownership. The new number plate will be increased from 160 to 300 cedis. They said they will put RFID whiles the number platecan be removed by criminals why not invest in more cameras on our roads for easy tracking. Also all vehicles in Ghana should come back and pay money for the new number plate imagine the revenue they will make. U can see this man is rushing too much and everything he is doing now is about looting he wants to make a kill before he leaves office. We pay toad worthy we renew license and so on. Is about time Ghanaians open their eyes about this DVLA boss. He is creating more avenues to steal from the public he should let sleeping dogs lie

Is this not the same as President Akuffo Addo's decision to build Cathedral? Is the proposed hospital coming to solve any problem that the existing health facilities in Ghana are not solving? Will such a hospital be built in every district in the country? Or will it be built on every highway in the country?
Is DVLA charging abnormally high fees that they have so much surplus to "throw around?"
Whose idea is it, in the first place? Did the person consult widely before coming public?
I trust President Mahama. He will not entertain this.

That is good for you. So when drivers with unlicensed vehicles, no roadworthiness, no insurance etc. injure you on the road, they can go to the drivers hospital? Nkwaseasem.

@ Osuro. I also say, what is wrong with Ghanaians? You want to send such a matter to court? Are you normal? That clown at the DVLA should be fired Pronto to relieve the govt from shame. If the DVLA has a Board, it should also be immediately disolved for allowing such nonsense to pass under their sleepy noses. What nonsense is this? One can always discern corrupt motives in schemes like this which have not got one ounce of coomon sense in it. So in any case, who exactly is he referring to as drivers? Is it Commercial drivers, professional drivers or anyone who drives a vehicle? Why? Can't drivers find their way to the many hospitals all over the country? And when a driver is taken ill in let's say Tamale, will he be transported all the way to Accra where presumably the said hospital will be sited? I mean what nonsense is this? These are the kind of people around Mahama who will mar all his efforts and bring his image and govt down. Fire the idiot soonest to serve as an example to all would be types of his kind.

@ Sam. You are right. Hospitality or Rest Stops at internationally recommended distances on highways throughout the country would be a great and much better idea. Hospitality/Rest stops such as Linda D'or, or better, should be taken up by the DVLA in collaboration with investment partners. Such a project will help all drivers and make a lot of money for the DVLA. Some of these govt appointees are do annoying.

Absolutely agree with the Professor. DVLA should focus on its core mandate. It will do this country much more good to build driving schools than the idea of a hospital for drivers that will be completely off course. The DVLA boss should come again. Our roads will be safer if we have competent drivers manning vehicles that run the roads.

Oh!! This is disgraceful. What is the mandate of DVLA to build hospitals or? DVLA should concentrate on its mandate which is established in Law.

This CEO of DVLA does not understand the workings of Government. All state institutions are established by a degrees or Acts of Parliament.

This CEO is confused. Is he going to build hospitals in every region of Ghana or only in Accra. Who is a driver? Is he talking about Commercial drivers or private car drivers. Why is Ghana govt agencies working in silos. DVLA please be serious. Building of hospitals is the responsibility of Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Services.

The DVLA should use that money to repair roads. Some nincompoops are thinking as if they are not human beings. Hospital for drivers? Whoever came up with this idea should be looked at a second time.
