DVLA denies losing GH¢308,000 in alleged theft involving service personnel

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has firmly denied allegations that GH¢308,000 was stolen from the organization by one of its personnel. In a statement, the DVLA clarified that the sum in question does not belong to the Authority and was not taken from any of its accounts.

The DVLA explained that the case stems from a personal dispute between two individuals. One of these individuals is a former National Service Personnel who is currently working with the DVLA on a contract basis. The Authority stressed that while the individual is attached to the DVLA, the alleged offense has no connection to its operations, finances, or official duties.

Reacting to media publications that suggested the DVLA had suffered a financial loss, the Authority described these reports as inaccurate and misleading. The DVLA urged media organizations and the public to report the matter accurately to prevent the false impression that public funds had been stolen. The Authority reassured the public that its financial systems remain secure and its operations are unaffected, reaffirming its commitment to integrity and accountability.
