We’ll extend driver’s licence renewal to 10 years; current system makes no sense – Bawumia
The Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia has promised to extend the renewal of driver’s licence renewal to 10 years.
The proposal comes at the back of what the Vice President describes as an inconvenient system, when touching on the existing renewal system.
Drivers in Ghana are currently required by law to renew their licenses every two years.
However, during the Vice President’s campaign tour at Akwatia in the Eastern Region, the vice president noted that the current system creates inconveniences for drivers and must be extended.
“We are all drivers and our drivers’ licences expire every two years, is that not the case? Unless you go to the DVLA to renew it, why?,” he queried.
“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.
