It's a good idea to reduce police corruption but more has to be done to prevent scammers. Some folks who dont even own a vehicle in Accra have already received "fake" messages purportedly from MTTD asking them to pay violation fines. This new system will be easy payday for "Nigerian" hackers/scammers...they are professionals and I am sure they have already started benefiting..

A driver must provide driver license with valid photo and valid DoB for verification, the idea is great but he need to do more research on this before implementing it.

The question is, has the police have the power to stop every vehicle?The best thing is stop the police from stopping every vehicle. And the police force has to be decentralized. Each region must have their own police.

In the USA when a police demands your license he is verifying you are the true owner of the vehicle you are driving most times and not because they want to see if it has expired to take money from you.

But I thought taking a driver's licence was also to allow the driver to report at the station later, instead of arresting him on the spot and wasting his day. Or will there be on-the-spot arrests if they commit offences?

That's a good one. The police demands your license and then jumps on his motorbike and tells you to follow him to their charge office where an inspector will then demand a big amount like 1000ghc. Because they have your physical licence you have no choice but to pay. I was told once at Dzorwulu junction that I've gone through a red light which wasn't true because I was closely behind a trotro who was allowed to go when the red light changed to green. I had to pay 300ghc to the inspector at Kotobabi police station after asking for 1000ghc. I've even printed photocopies of my licence just for this so I don't give out my physical licence card.

Link the driver's licence to the Ghana card. I really like the idea of generating money through the momo. Elsewhere, technology are used to check human behaviours

How are you going to remember your license number?. You see they can just say any number,and what then ,isn't the same as showing your license....??Too many criminals fall thru the cracks when there is no accountability.....This is very unusual way of doing things.The problem is there are no computers or tablet to run a police check on a
License at the check being done .When you run a check thru the data base it gives you a full run down of the drivers history,and many times outstanding warrants that haven't been delth with .. So the bad guy just drives away
free????....Give the police what they need to do their job.

Masa if you like carry your license along no problem, all wat the police want is your license number period. But if your license get damaged or missing your own problem.
