Government through the Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security will on 1st April, 2025 commence the issuance of National Registration Cards (NRCs) through mobile registration.
Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security, Jack Mwiimbu, says the Ministry targets to capture about 3.5 million people in 3 months with an estimated cost of K440 Million.
“Teams will be sent to all 10 provinces simultaneously,” he indicated.
In a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka by the Ministry today, Mr Mwiimbu explained that the exercise aims to capture all eligible Zambian citizens who have turned 16 years or are above since the last mobile issuance of NRCs.
“The mobile issuance of NRCs will target rural areas, particularly in far-flung areas with no access to national registration offices,” he stated.
The Minister stressed that the initiative aims to empower citizens to participate in economic activities and strengthen electoral processes, as outlined in the 8th National Development Plan.
“Government has assured that the exercise will be conducted with utmost integrity and transparency, emphasising that any officer found engaging in corrupt practices will face stringent disciplinary measures,” Mr Mwiimbu noted.
This is the worst scam Zambia will experience. They plan to register people who don’t exist in Zambia. There’re no 3.5 million people in Southern Province to register. Mwiimbu will come and rot in jail. He should start preparing for jail suits.
Let him ensure jails are upgraded to acceptable standards otherwise he will die of depression.
Good that this process is underway now so people can have enough time to verify and fully examine these registrations.
Some of Zambia’s top politicians have been said to be of foreign parentage.How do we make sure you don’t issue IDs to foreigners or refugees?
Zambia’s home affairs ministry has been known to be as corrupt as their South African counterparts.
Please can you provide concrete evidence to your claims?
Why is it vital that all eligible zambian voters register for 2026 elections? How do you solve poverty issues, loadshedding issues, constitution issues, inflation issues, fuel issues, corruption issues, judiciary issues, cost of essential food issues, health issues, unemployment issues, fraud politicians issues, deceitful leadership issues, abuse issues…
Why is a vote important to a voter? Is it a better way for the voiceless to air their concerns through the vote?
440 Million ??? How do they arrive at that figure ??
Don’t most disricts have registration offices for those who want to register ??
this will attract outsiders is this what they hoping for ?
Zambian politicians need to be slapped back to earth. At the moment they are enjoying lavish lifestyles which can only exist on a different planet. The people of Zambia need to wake up and start voting these crooks out of office for taking advantage of them. We need to show these people the meaning of a civil servant and who the real boss is.
Thank you Thank you
