Kwasi Poku Addae, better known by the stage name Kwaisey Pee, highlife sensation has raised a red flag over the escalating number of road accidents in Ghana, pinpointing the illegal acquisition of driving licenses as a major contributing factor.
The musician, known for his soulful tunes, shared his concerns during a recent appearance on Adom FM’s Entertainment Hall show.
Addressing the issue head-on, Kwaisey Pee emphasised the need for a more rigorous process in obtaining driving licences.
He firmly asserted that tightening the procedures could serve as a crucial step in reducing the frequency of accidents on Ghana’s roads.
“If I were the DVLA boss, no one would easily get a licence. If I am able to curb that alone, I think it would curb lots of accidents,” Kwaisey Pee stated, advocating for a comprehensive review and enhancement of the current licensing system.
Ghana has been grappling with a surge in road accidents, and concerns have been mounting regarding the integrity of the licensing process.
The high-profile musician’s call for stricter measures aligns with a growing sentiment among citizens and stakeholders who are seeking solutions to address the root causes of the issue.
The debate surrounding the illegal acquisition of driving licences has gained traction in recent months, prompting discussions about the effectiveness of current regulatory measures.
Kwaisey Pee’s vocal stance on the matter adds a prominent voice to the growing chorus of individuals advocating for change.
As the nation grapples with the challenge of road safety, the musician’s proposal is likely to spark further conversations on the need for reforms within the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) to ensure that only qualified individuals obtain licenses.
The question now looms: will authorities heed the call for stricter measures to curb the rising tide of road accidents in Ghana?
