Former Chief Executive of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has pushed back against suggestions that the recent rise in revenue at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is solely the result of the leadership of its current head, Julius Neequaye Kotey.
In a Facebook post on Friday, August 22, Mr. Nkansah said documents from the DVLA’s previous management, which he had reviewed, showed that the foundations for the revenue boost were already in place before Mr. Kotey assumed office.
He described as misleading a recent media interview in which the DVLA boss implied that no significant initiatives were inherited from his predecessor.
According to Mr. Nkansah, the much-touted DP plate stickers project cited by Mr. Kotey as the main driver of growth was designed, completed, and scheduled for rollout by the previous administration.
He outlined a sequence of events to back his claims, citing that in January 2024, the Ministry of Transport approved the conversion of DP plates into digital stickers.
A vendor was engaged soon after, with designs finalised and a committee set up in May 2024 to supervise implementation.
By June 2024, an agreement had been signed with manufacturers, and in November, training sessions for police officers and other stakeholders were held in preparation for the launch.
Mr. Nkansah maintained that these processes had all been concluded before Mr. Kotey took office, meaning the current management only followed through on an already established project.
He concluded that credit for the revenue growth should rightly go to the groundwork laid by the former DVLA Chief Executive, Mr. Edusei, rather than being attributed solely to the present administration.
