Some officers removed after failing to learn system used for NRC mobile issuance

Government has deployed officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs to conduct the on-going mobile Green National Registration exercise, NRC’s.
Eastern Province Deputy Permanent Secretary, Patrick Mwanawasa says that this is because of the delay by officers from other ministries to learn how to operate the system.
Mr. Mwanawasa says that the officers who were deployed earlier have been called back from the field.
He explained that had government decided to maintain the same officers, it would have caused the country to delay the exercise and not reach the targeted number of people by next month when the exercise comes to an end.
Mr. Mwanawasa says officers from the Ministry of Home Affairs are already familiar with the system of issuing out NRC’s and this will speed up the exercise.
