The public have been cautioned against allowing “goro boys” serving as mediators to fast track the processing of their licensees at the Driver Vehicle License Authority (DVLA).
“You may end up duped or spend huge amounts to charlatans who are so inconsiderate and would do anything to make you fall for their lies “.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Cape Coast on Tuesday, the Authority said it was putting in persistent efforts to totally wipe “goro boys” from interfering with the services of the DVLA which it described as 'uncalled for'.
It said it had purposed to launch some strategies and put measures in place that would realize that goal.
Mr. Lawrence Adom, the Central Regional Manager of the Authority indicated that, over the years, Ghanaians had grown used to the tradition of involving mediators in every aspect of their dealing.
The act, he said had been normalized in the society such that people tend to seek protocols or get the mediators to scheme their ways through meeting their needs.
Condemning the act, he urged all to desist from their engagement with any mediator of any sort adding “our services have improved, the system is not unreasonably hard, get through it in a good way”, he encouraged.
He said getting a license at the Authority only needed applicants to meet the requirements and go through the system with no stress or worry.
“Be 18 and above, show proof of age, be of sound mind with no deformities that affect driving and we will gladly endorse you and make you go smoothly through the system.
“We are totally against middlemen facilitating the process, a lot of licenses are fake because of this notion”, the Regional Manager added.

Sometimes DVLA Authorities will come and talk about Goro Boys, but the funny thing is that, the security men at the gate allows them to enter the premises to facilitate the work as Goro Boys. Go to DVLA office at 37 and you will see it for yourself. As if the Government is not paying the personnel over there but is the Goro Boys who is paying them. Same applies to Passport Offices nation wide.
