LAST Friday, President Jakaya Kikwete signed final documents and had his passport photo taken by National Identification Authority (NIDA) senior officials led by Director General, Dickson Maimu at State House finalizing the process for acquisition of the long awaited National ID.
Mr Mwaimu said Mr Kikwete will receive the first ID on Wednesday next week alongside other senior government officials including MPs, marking culmination of the exercise of preparing the cards.
This is a big relief to many Tanzanians who have been looking forward for many years to get hold of these precious pieces of smart cards which are badly needed to safeguard law and order. Several stakeholders had said earlier that with national IDs, crime will be contained to a greater degree, government revenue will increase significantly, bank interest rates will fall and several other things involving individuals will be formalized.
