The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has suggested extending drivers’ licenses validity to ten years, calling the existing system inconvenient.
In Ghana, it is currently mandatory for drivers to renew their licenses every two years.
Speaking in Akwatia in the Eastern Region on this campaign visit, the vice president did, however, point out that the current system causes problems for drivers and needs to be enlarged.
“We are all drivers and our drivers’ licences expire every two years, it that not the case? Unless you go to the DVLA to renew it why?
“We are saying let’s extend it, eight years, ten years. Let’s make sure we can have the driver’s licence without having to go to renew it every year; it doesn’t make sense,” he stated.
