Georgetown: In an attempt to address security concerns, all Government vehicles will soon have licence plates with the initial letters CRG – Cooperative Republic of Guyana – to be followed with a numbering system, while all registered motor vehicles will carry standardised licence plates. The proposal by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) was approved by Cabinet this week.
While chairing this week’s post-cabinet press briefing, Minister of Governance, Raphael Trotman said that the Administration has received several reports that some businesses that produce licence plates would produce fake number plates at times, enabling the free movement of criminals across the country.
Trotman said that the uniform licence plates will aid in reducing criminal activities as security features will be embedded.
The small businesses that invest in the manufacturing of these plates will be invited to participate and will be allowed to submit bids so that their views are considered. The new licence plates for private vehicle owners will be delivered by the GRA once the system is fully implemented. This new system is expected to be implemented within the next two months.
