Mobile registration disappoints Sinazongwe councillors

Share

Councillors in Sinazongwe district have expressed disappointment at the just ended mobile National registration Card (NRC) exercise in which two wards and several polling stations were left out.

Nangombe ward Councillor Robson Sialukowa told ZANIS that the registration officers informed him that they would come to his area but skipped his ward and went to other areas in the district.

He said all the three polling stations that include Nangombe basic School, Siazwela middle Basic and Mwalede were left out.

Mr. Sialukowa said the people in his area have been saddened with the development and were heaping all the blame on him.

And Sinazongwe ward Councilor Abraham Moonga said the whole ward was left out and the officers gave the excuse that the ward was near the registration office.

Meanwhile Mwezhya ward Councilor Bernard Sianyambwe has said two highly populated polling stations in his ward were left out of the exercise.

He said the registration officers assured him that they would go to the area after completing areas that were hard to reach during the rainy season but have not been there since then.

Mr. Sianyambwe has appealed to the officers to go back to the two areas and other wards that have been left out to ensure that all the people were catered for in the exercise.
