NIDA Public Relations Officer Thomas William told The Guardian that the exercise is scheduled for six weeks and will be completed in time reaching both Zanzibar and Pemba Islands.
He explained that the equipment being used in Zanzibar is modern and has helped speed up the registration process as well as taking of fingerprints and photographs.
“These take us only a single day,” he said “…while in Dar es Salaam, people had to register first and wait for their names to be placed on notice boards for other procedures to follow.”
In Zanzibar, registration started on February 24 and after a month and half it is expected to be over.
He went on to explain that in Dar es Salaam where the registration is through, the team is now verifying the data before printing the national IDs.
“The process has already been concluded in Temeke and Ilala districts, and now we are moving to Kinondoni,” he said.
We don’t aim at getting the IDs only but we also need to have perfect and clear data of each citizen in the country.
“We want people to verify their information because there are some people who have died and others whose citizenship has changed,” he pointed out.
NIDA success in the process in Dar es Salaam was by 75% where most discrepancies were in mixing up of forms and incomplete information.
