The program cost the District around K172 thousand kina. It was rolled out in all three LLGs and work was continuing until COVID19struck putting the project on hold.
Local Member Jimmy Uguro, explained that once NID registration resumes the mobile kit teams will visit the three LLGs to enlist those who are yet to register.
This program is important for the District as most businesses especially banks now require NID cards or certification.
The District Development Authority has also set up its business arm called the “Gabusi Investment. The aim is to generate revenue for the district.
Gabusi has its own board members with no integration from the member.
