The National Registration Bureau (NRB) has suspended registration of Malawian citizens for the issuance of National IDs.
This follows the discontinuation of the Malawi Electoral Commission’s (MEC) voter registration exercise.
In a statement, NRB Chief Director Mackford Somanje confirms suspension of its registration process in all MEC registration-turned-verification centres.
The NRB Chief, however, encourages all eligible citizens to go to their nearest district registration centres or post offices to access the service.
Earlier, the NRB had issued an assurance to investigate allegations by critics that the institution was registering minors for electoral fraud.
