Action Over Excuses
Political observers and party loyalists have noted that while many officials often cite economic constraints as reasons for slow progress, Kotey has taken a proactive approach.

The recruitment drive is seen as a strategic move to not only improve the service delivery of the DVLA by expanding its footprint but to also ensure that the “footsoldiers” who represent the backbone of the party are not left behind.
A Wave of Appreciation
