Serenje residents demand extension of mobile N.R.C exercise

Share

Luombwa ward residents in Serenje District
have called for the extension of the National mobile Registration
Card (N.R.C) exercise.

Concerned residents told ZANIS, that there is need for the extension of
of the exercise as most people do not have access to transport to
travel to the registration center at Katonga in the neighbouring Lulimala
ward.

The mobile NRC issuing exercise has since inception been done at Katonga
in Lulimala ward on the other side of Luombwa River.

Villagers in Reuben Muntanga and Kamaka areas in Luombwa ward are
forced to walk to katonga for issuance of NRCs.

They said it would be unfair if the mobile N.R.C team left for another area before
attending to them as this was their only chance for those
that had attained the age of 16 years and those that lost the
cards.

District Commissioner Stanley Chibwana when contacted, assured villagers
in the area not to panic as the NRC mobile team was ready to attend to them.

Mr. Chibwana said the mobile team leader had assured him that even
if the team at Kotanga moved to another area, it would still get back to continue the exercise
in the said ward.

Meanwhile, people of Chipyapya fishing camp along Lulimala river near
Mukuku bridge, in Serenje, did not take advantage of the mobile
registration to obtain NRC when the mobile team was at Gibson basic
school.

The reports say a lot of them remained in the fishing camp busy
catching fish while only a few returned to obtain the cards.

  1. Serenje hope no extension of NRC would be given to you. Because you just use your votes card to gain cup of salt, chitenge materials and other good. If you need extension then you sould WOKE UP. Its too late

  2. But you are the one who posted numbala wanu! That aside Maestro, lets make sure people register. These UNIPists already have their cadres on the register. Kunka mulilo bana balye nshima, kunka mulilo mwisho.

  3. The issuance of NRCs should be a continous process,I mean going out througout the year not the nonsense we have in zambia.However,when people are given chance,they should go in numbers than what was reported where people hoped to go “mukukola inswa”.Having said that,we also know thatb our people are poor and so mobile offices should be provide and people followed to there respective places.Does that make sense?please advise me,I want to learn.
