The National Resistance Movement (NRM) has assured that it will create a credible voters’ register ahead of the party’s internal elections set for next year.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Medina Naham, the director of Finance and Administration at the party secretariat, who is overseeing the process, told members in Arua that the process was moving smoothly.
The 21-days activity at 20 data centres countrywide follows the March 2024 register update and registration of the new NRM members.
“This time around, we are going to ensure that we have an all-inclusive register at the time of elections, and I don’t expect us to have many challenges like we did in the previous registers,” Medina said.
In this project, Medina said a team of data clerks familiar with local dialects, IT officers, verification officers and supervisors were hired to ensure due diligence before any data is uploaded into the system.
“We have so far captured about 13 million out of the 18 million registered members and we hope to complete the exercise within the stipulated time or even less,” Medina said.
When complete, the register shall be printed and sent to all the villages for members to check and confirm their particulars.
“The students and those who may have missed to register will then have an opportunity to be registered,” Medina said.
Irene Nyafono, a supervisor at Arua city data centre, said they had recruited fine teams to do a good job.
“Their welfare is taken care of to ensure smooth work operations. There are so far no major challenges because the online system is effective and the computers are good too,” Nyafono said.
