The Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services has disclosed that it will start clearing a backlog of passport applications tomorrow.
The department scaled down the printing of passports – following the termination of a K47.4 billion-kwacha production supplies deal with Techno Brain.
Speaking to MIJ Online, Wellington Chiponde- national public relations officer for the department- said the department over the weekend received passport consumables which were supposed to be supplied by Techno Brain before the contract was terminated.
According to Chiponde, currently, the department has over three thousand applications for passports.
