NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION AND REGISTRATION AUTHORITY BILL TABLED
KINGSTON, March 22 (JIS):
Prime Minister, the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, on Tuesday (March 21), tabled a Bill in Parliament to establish the National Identification and Registration Authority.
The proposed National Identification and Registration Act, 2017 and the Authority’s formation are in keeping with the National Identification Project, which Mr. Holness reintroduced last year.
The Registrar General’s Department (RGD), which will be transformed into the Authority, will have responsibility for the project’s implementation.
