State vehicles on course for CRG plates by October

Sep 19, 2015 News

Government is getting ready to roll out special plates for state-owned vehicles within weeks, Minister of State, Joseph Harmon confirmed yesterday.
The initiative is supposed to ensure easy recognition of the vehicles and hopefully help in identifying a number that may have disappeared shortly before the May 11th elections.
Responding to questions on the special plates, Harmon said that the Guyana Revenue Authority could be ready by early October.
In July, Harmon said that all state-owned vehicles will be affixed with Cooperative Republic of Guyana (CRG) registration number plates that will serve to easily identify vehicles that are registered to the state.
“You will not have the situation where private number plates are on vehicles, and therefore they can be abused by persons,” he had said.
There have been complaints of state vehicles being misused and not taken care of, in keeping with established protocols.
“As soon as you see a CRG number plate, you know that it is a state vehicle, so it is going to be easing and aiding in the identification of state owned vehicles.”
Government is hoping that the new system will also make obsolete, those vehicles that belong to the state, but which people are holding under private number plates. “We will assign CRG numbers to those vehicles….Once you have a CRG registered vehicle, but you have a private number plate on it, then the police can actually go and seize that vehicle from you, because it belongs to the state”.
All vehicles which will be purchased in the future for use by the state and state agencies will be fitted with the CRG registration.
