The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has impounded 357 vehicles suspected of having cloned chassis numbers or entering Ghana without proper customs procedures. These vehicles have been transferred to the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). According to DVLA Chief Executive Officer Julius Neequaye Kotey, the action was enabled by the introduction of On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) devices. These devices help verify vehicle identification details and detect irregularities before registration. Mr. Kotey explained that some individuals allegedly imported vehicles through unapproved routes and used identification details of vehicles on which duties had already been paid. This practice allowed for fraudulent use of the same identification details, potentially enabling imported vehicles to evade taxes and duties. The DVLA's records indicated that 357 vehicles were impounded and handed over to the GRA as of October 9, 2026. This intervention aims to protect government revenue, enhance the integrity of vehicle registration, and prevent the registration of vehicles with questionable import or identification records without proper checks.
