DVLA Denies It Lost GH¢308,000 in Alleged Staff Theft

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has moved to correct the record over an alleged GH¢308,000 theft involving one of its staff members, insisting the money in question did not belong to the organisation.

In a statement, the DVLA dismissed reports characterising the authority as a victim of the theft, labelling such claims as inaccurate and misleading. The clarification suggests the funds may have been personal money or belonging to another entity entirely.

The incident had drawn public attention, with initial reports suggesting an internal staff member was involved in the disappearance of the substantial sum. However, the DVLA's latest intervention seeks to separate the authority from direct involvement in the alleged crime.

Details surrounding the investigation and the identity of the accused staff member remain unclear. The authority has not provided further specifics on the nature of the funds or the circumstances leading to their disappearance.
