Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The government plans to harvest DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid properties) of citizens and issue to holders new, or replacement, National Identity (ID) cards containing such genetic information.<\/p>\n

Elements of how the scheme will run are still under discussion, but Gen David Muhoozi, the State minister for Internal Affairs, told parliamentary plenary late Thursday evening that the government will issue \u201csmart digital\u201d IDs going forward once the current versions expire.<\/p>\n

The government through the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) began issuing National IDs in 2014, and the first batch expires in 2024, because each, like a passport, is valid for only 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpected outcomes of the exercise shall include\u2026substitution of the (expiring) National ID cards upon expiry, and [their] upgrading \u2026 to a smart card [Electronic ID or EID] and creation of personal digital identity, upgrade of the verification system and integration of the Iris recognition biometric technology and DNA in the NIRA system,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

DNA, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), is \u201ca molecule inside cells that contains the genetic information responsible for the development and function of an organism \u2026 [and] allow this information to be passed from one generation to the next\u201d.<\/p>\n

It means harvesting citizens\u2019 DNA en masse gives the state, or government, if it wants, the power to map out people\u2019s biological relations in addition to declarations that ID applicants are required to make about their ancestry.<\/p>\n

This prompted some Members of Parliament, among them Mr Abed Bwanika representing Kimaanya-Kaboneera, to question whether such data collection is not invasive.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you want to profile the blood of the people of Uganda? If that so because that will be unprecedented. Do you want to keep the data of the entire population in form of DNA? Do you want to go into our privacy in our blood as government?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

What lawyer says<\/b><\/p>\n

In comments to our inquiry, private attorney Kenneth Situma said the constitutional right to privacy is derogable. He argued that the government, in this NIRA, under Section 7 of the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 has the power to collect citizens\u2019 data if necessary for the proper performance of a public duty by a public body, national security, or medical purposes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state needs such information to be used for planning reasons too. For instance, if there is an influx of refugees in a given area such as places near refugee-hosting communities who tend to integrate and mix with Ugandans and later claim to be Ugandans. Such information can be used to differentiate Ugandans from non-Ugandans,\u201d Mr Situma said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe state has to guarantee that such sensitive data collected from citizens is well secured under Section 20 of the Act and [in the] instance where there is breach of such information then the state will be held liable.\u201d<\/p>\n

NIRA, he said, must put in place mechanisms to safeguard such vast personal data of citizens; otherwise, \u201ctheir security will compromise\u201d if the information is breached.
\nAt the Thursday sitting, which was attended by few MPs, minister Muhoozi said the automation of an individual\u2019s information on an ID was to scale up technology, and expedite verification of a person\u2019s particulars whenever required.<\/p>\n

\u201cNIRA seeks to take advantage of the strides in technology that will increase portability and verification to support global transactions. The exercise will improve accuracy and credibility of the register for planning and improved service delivery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mass registration for the electronic ID with chip inserts containing a holder\u2019s DNA information, he said, will start in January 2023 through a multi-sectoral approach led by national technical taskforce providing leadership for the exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The government also plans to deploy IRIS recognition biometric technology, which www.techtarget.com defines as a method of \u201cidentifying people based on unique patterns within the ring-shaped region surrounding the pupil of the eye\u201d. These identifiers, like fingerprints, vary from individual to individuals and colours such as grey, blue, greenish or brown.<\/p>\n

Gen Muhoozi\u2019s disclosures were prompted by Wakiso District Woman Member of Parliament Betty Ethel Naluyima, who sought to know the government\u2019s plan about impending expiry of 15.8 million National IDs issued in 2014\/2015.<\/p>\n

Some of the biometric information captured in the original identification documents fades over time, the minister said, and the data for issuance of the new digital versions — to be issued by Uganda Printing and Publishing Corporation (UPPC) to those seeking express processing at a fee — will be integrated between UPPC and NIRA systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exercise should potentially generate revenue for the government; details of which are also being computed,\u201d he said, attracting immediate disapproval from the House.<\/p>\n

Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, who chaired the session, said Ugandans should not be made to pay for the National ID because the government has made it a mandatory document for citizens to hold and use for a range of services, including banking, and salary access.<\/p>\n

Ms Rose Obiga, the vocal Terego District Woman MP, rejected the plan for citizens to pay for ID, arguing that it will compound access of the document for millions since obtaining the current free versions is a nightmare for thousands of applicants due to NIRA\u2019s inefficiency.<\/p>\n

The Busujju County MP, Mr David Lukyamuzi, said \u201cone wonders when this government will ever serve its people [because] already the process of getting a National ID is hectic\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not going to be creating business for individuals. Let this be a free service to the people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His Nakaseke Central counterpart Allan Ssebunya sought a special consideration for persons with disabilities some of whom he said have no fingers or eyes, yet these physical features are captured for identification.<\/p>\n

How scheme will work<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2022 Mass registration for the smart digital National IDs commences in January next year as the first batch of the original identification documents expire in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Applicants will apply and input bio-data information online, which will be captured in an auto-generated QR code only readable by a NIRA machine as a means to protect personal details.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In parts of the country with limited or no Internet access, NIRA registration assistants will be deployed in every parish to capture the biometrics of applicants.<\/p>\n

\u2022 They will work from Monday to Saturday every week, and it is estimated they will cover a district with 17 parishes at most within two-and-half months.<\/p>\n

\u2022 This is based on the assumption that 10 people will be registered every hour. Applicants can check the status of their ID application by dialing *216#, or through the NIRA website.<\/p>\n
