The CEO went on to highlight the serious consequences of issuing licenses to individuals who are not qualified to drive. He compared granting a license to an unfit person to handing a gun to a thief, explaining that such a person is not only unqualified but poses a dangerous threat to others on the road. He firmly stated that his conscience would never allow him to engage in such actions, knowing the potential harm it could cause to innocent lives.

In his speech, the CEO also addressed concerns about the cost of acquiring a driver’s license. He explained that while the licensing process should not be too expensive, the pricing structure is intended to ensure that the system remains fair and functional. He acknowledged that when the fees are set too high, it may open doors for some individuals to exploit the system, creating room for malpractice and inefficiency. Therefore, he advocated for a balanced approach to pricing, one that ensures fairness and accessibility for all Ghanaians.

Moreover, the CEO urged the public to go through the proper channels when applying for a license, emphasizing that there are important skills and experiences to be gained in the process. He assured Ghanaians that obtaining the license through the right procedures will not only make the process smoother but will also equip them with essential road safety knowledge. He urged citizens to take the time to complete the licensing process themselves, without resorting to shortcuts, as this would be in their best interest in the long run.

In his final remarks, the CEO reiterated his call for all Ghanaians to follow the correct procedures when acquiring their drivers license. He stressed that adhering to the proper channels will ensure that the system remains transparent and efficient, ultimately benefiting both the individuals and society as a whole.
