GECOM could have applied the principle of smooth continuity of operations

Dear Editor,

A notice by GECOM (SN Sept 7) that it is suspending the production of national ID cards due to the vacant position of CNR, has now placed citizens at a disadvantage. Surely this ought not to be so, especially since the ID is also now required in the new Covid measures. It begs the question why can’t the legal, functioning chair be made to perform the CNR functions, thus giving effectiveness to the principle of smooth, continuity of operations?

Sincerely,

Shamshun Mohamed
