Commercial drivers are calling for an end to what they describe as unfair charges by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority DVLA. They also complain about police officers asking for money illegally.
The Concerned Drivers Association of Ghana CDAG made these demands. They want President John Dramani Mahama and Interior Minister Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka to help.
A statement was released by the Association on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. It detailed their concerns about the fees and alleged police actions.
The drivers feel the DVLA delinquency fees are too high. They believe these charges are excessive and burdening their work.
Furthermore, the Association claims some police officers are extorting money from commercial drivers. This practice is widespread, according to their statement.
CDAG is asking for the government to investigate these issues. They want the DVLA fees to be suspended and action taken against the police officers involved.
The Association believes these problems negatively affect the livelihoods of many drivers across the country.
The statement did not specify the exact amount of the fees or the frequency of the alleged police extortion.
