Africa-Press – Angola. Three thousand and 328 Identity Cards (IDs) and several criminal records are waiting to be collected by their holders, at the issuing offices in the province of Lunda-Sul, the Civil Identification Department, in Saurimo, said on Saturday.
The information was provided, this Saturday, to Press by the head of the Civil Identification Department of Lunda-Sul, António Mucumbi, who said he did not know the reasons why users do not collect their documents, a fact that has been increasing slightly , more than seven months ago.
According to the person responsible, this situation worries the local institution under the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.
He said that the sector issues an average of 30 to 40 Identity Cards per day locally, with a collection period of around seven days.
He added that Tickets to be picked up are at identification points in the municipalities of Cacolo, Dala, Muconda and Saurimo.
Although the situation itself does not cause embarrassment in the work routine, António Mucumbi stated that “the intentional abandonment” of Identity Cards at issuing points represents a waste of material, effort and time, therefore calling on users to avoid such practice.
The sector has sent some lists to Rádio Lunda-Sul so that interested parties can collect their documents but “without success”, he said.
At provincial level, he explained, there are five civil and criminal identification posts, two in Saurimo, one in the municipalities of Cacolo, Dala, Muconda and two mobile ones, which do not yet have the new Integrated Identity Card system.
