Transforming Government since 2001
The Minister of state for ICT Nyombi Thembo has assured Parliament that they are on course for the issuance of the National Identity cards, contrary to the alarmists who discredit the capability of the ministry.

Making a presentation before the ICT committee, Nyombi says the ministry in collaboration with the ministry of Internal affairs, are moving on fairly well with the Identity cards expected to be issued in 2013.

A Germany company called Muhlbauer was contracted to provide the National Identity cards at a cost of over 80m US dollars over a few years ago, but have only issued 400 I.Ds to date.

Nyombi says by the end of the year 2013, they expect to have issued over 15m I.Ds for the grown ups since there is no provision for the young ones given that their faces are still growing.

Nyombi has also rubbished claims that the ICT Ministry is in clash with the ministry there are a few over lapping roles to the two ministries and that they are trying to resolve them technically, and not problems as suggested.
