President Irfaan Ali today announced that there will be a clampdown on the driver’s license system and those persons who may have obtained their driver’s license without completing the requisite tests will have six weeks to make themselves known and go through the proper system.
Speaking at the Guyana Police Force’s Annual Christmas Breakfast this morning, the President stated that the introduction of technology in the system has allowed for the detection of discrepancies.
He said it has been revealed that more persons have been receiving pass grades and practical certification without fully completing the process. The President said those who may have cheated the system must now make it right.
“And in the areas where are there discrepancies, and we have found it, we have all the names of persons who got a practical paper but never passed the theoretical exam, and we are going to give those persons six weeks to surrender themselves and go through back the process or after that we are going to publish all the names in the newspaper , suspend the license and prosecute them,” the President threatened.
The President said corruption in the system must be stamped out and that all parties involved should be prosecuted.
He said the Government will deploy data and technological assets on a full scale to ensure that the system remains tight.
“So we can tell, and we have been able to tell, because of the system of the system, all those who wrote the theoretical exam and pass and that is the only way you can go forward with the practical exam and we can tell all those who got a practical certificate and all those who got a license at GRA, we have been able to triangulate the enter process and we understand the discrepancies within the whole, because if you have 150 people passing the theory and 400 people passing the practical something is wrong, and we going to make those findings available so that the system would understand,’ the President said.
The President said the system both at the level of the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Revenue Authority must be revamped to ensure greater accountability in the issuance of driver’s license.
