The Dri Management of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), have clarified news headlines over the extended services of Authority to selected foreign countries.
According to DVLA in a statement, “For clarity, the DVLA, through an arrangement with the Foreign Affairs Ministry has agreed to collaborate with Ghana’s Embassies across the globe to provide selected services including International Driver’s Permit and Driver’s Licence Renewal to qualified Ghanaian citizens domiciled in others countries.
This pilot phase will be undertaken in the United States of America, Canada, Germany, The Netherlands and the High Commission of the United Kingdom.
As part of the implementation plan, the DVLA wlill provide training to Embassy staff to do iverification of documents and forward same to DVLA for processing, and once the processing is done, the Authority would then return the processed documents to the various Embassies for pick-up by the applicants.
According to the DVLA, this operation does not in any way mean that, the DVLA would post its domestic staff to work at Embassies in the aforementioned countries as the news headlines sought to portray
We wish to indicate that the Management of DVLA are committed to serving the interest of Ghanaians and has consistently pursued an agenda to place the services of the Authority closer to the people to minimize defaults as well as promote compliance.
“We want to reiterate that the Authority practices an open-door policy anc encourages the media and individuals who require clarity or information on the operations of the DVLA to approach the Corporate Affairs Department for such details to avoid such misleading reportage,” they concluded.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
