The management of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority [DVLA] has been ordered to immediately put a halt to charging for mandatory First Aid Kits.
Deputy Transport Minister, Titus Glover, told Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen that the DVLA has been communicated to in that regard.
According to him, the DVLA failed to duly inform both the board and the Ministry before going ahead with the implementation.
The DVLA this week introduced the compulsory charge of Ghc108 for the acquisition of First Aid Kits for new vehicle owners seeking to register their vehicles.
This decision has been met with stiff opposition from vehicle owners, who argue that they reserve the right to purchase such items by themselves at a cheaper cost.
“They didn’t inform us from Day 1, it was the Board Chairman that walked into my office yesterday to inform me that this is what he has learnt that the agency is doing…they have to alert us because they are trying to micromanage the agency…,” he said.
