Kazembe revealed this on Thursday after a familiarisation tour of the registry and immigration offices in Gweru, the Midlands Provincial capital. He said: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- > Government is working out strategies to clear the passport backlog and increase daily production because we remain committed to ensuring that every citizen who needs a passport gets one without hurdles. > So soon if approved by the responsible authority, we want a new Statutory Instrument that allows locals with foreign currency to pay for the production of the document. > At the moment we all know that it is illegal for locals to pay for the production of the passport using any foreign currency. > That is one way to speed up the production of the document because the material we use in the production of the passport is imported and needs foreign currency. Kazembe also disclosed that there is a passport backlog of between 350 000 and 400 000 passports and the passports being printed now were those applied for in October 2018. Last year, the government approved the charging of US$318 for passport applicants who are living outside the country and said the applications will be prioritised. *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
