Residents of Kikuube district, Uganda, are alleging that officials from the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) are demanding bribes in exchange for national identification services. The accusations stem from Kyangwali and Katikara parishes within Kyangwali sub-county. These services, including national ID registration, are officially provided free of charge by NIRA. Residents claim officials are illegally soliciting money from applicants. The allegations surfaced during a recent mass national ID registration drive in the area. Authorities have not yet commented on the specific claims, and investigations are pending to determine the validity of the accusations. This alleged corruption undermines public trust in the national identification process.
