Mr.\u00a0 Mutawakil\u00a0 said “we discovered that there are a lot of fake registration number plates in Bawku including other machines because \u00a0we have done a lot of our own ground\u00a0 investigation for many weeks now.”<\/p>\n
“There are certain numbers that have not been issued by the DVLA office, but are found on people’s bikes whiles other number plates found on the street of the Bawku municipality, are registered for different motorbikes. For example, a motorbike with this number M -17 -UE 25, has not yet been issued, whiles a bike with a number plate M -17 -UE 74, has been registered for a Royal motorbike at the DVLA which is also fake\u00a0 for a Honda\u00a0 bike in Bawku, and most of the fake number plates are registered in the name of different regions like Ashanti region, Northern region, Upper West and Brong Ahafo.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Mutawakil bemoaned that the DVLA loses thousands of Ghana cedis through the evasion of motor import duties, adding that, more of such operations will help deal with the alarming trend.<\/p>\n
Mr. Mutawakil hinted that, the exercise will be extended to Garu, Pusiga, Zebilla , Bongo and Navrongo.<\/p>\n
