New Patriotic Party, NPP, Presidential Candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is proposing an extension of the periodic renewal of Drivers’ Licences from the current two years to reduce the hustle drivers go through to renew their licence.
He indicated that just like the Passport, whose validity has been extended for greater convenience, a Bawumia Presidency will extend the validity beyond the current two years.
The NPP Presidential Candidate made the pledge when he addressed chiefs and other stakeholders at Boadua in the Akwatia Constituency of the Eastern Region as part of his constituency-focused nationwide campaign tour.
Dr Bawumia is also proposing the allocation of at least 10 million dollars a year to the Geological Survey Department to help them find the actual location of minerals to curtail the current system of ‘trial and error’ exploration which is destroying the environment.
He added that his government when given the nod will also ensure an equity stake for chiefs in future small-scale mining operations.
