AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> 2022 about 27.8 million Tanzanians will have possessed National Identity Cards (IDs), thanks to the new modern equipment procured by the government recently.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a news conference here yesterday, the Minister for Internal Affairs, George Simbachawene, said the 8.5bn\/- machine will start operations by the end of this month, and will have a capacity to produce 9,000 IDs per hour.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the National Identification Authority (NIDA), targets to identify and register 27.8 million Tanzanians, refugees living in the country and resident immigrants countrywide.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, as of March 27,2020 about 21, 823,026 people have been identified and registered out of 27,796,983 targeted population,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Simbachawene expressed his dismay over the number of Tanzanians, who have been issued with National Identification Number (NIN) and National IDs.<\/p>\n

According to him, only 17.8 million people have NIN but surprisingly only 6 million people have been issued with the IDs.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Simbachawene said with the new machine, the government was optimistic that in the next two years, all Tanzanians will have the IDs.<\/p>\n

The minister asked NIDA officials to increase pace in identifying and registering the citizens, and refrain from using bad language, while serving the public.<\/p>\n

He said within a short period he has been in office, he has received several complaints from the public that they are unhappy by the way NIDA officials treat them.<\/p>\n

Mr Simbachawene, therefore said, as from today, he would go for a comprehensive reshuffle within the authority that would see underperforming staff transferred to new duty stations and other assigned different duties.<\/p>\n

He equally directed all Regional Commissioners and District Commissioners to make sure that they closely supervise NIDA officials in their areas to ensure that they discharge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
