KABUL (SW): The documents that Salam Watandar has obtained, shows the government is planning to put the office for electronic identity cards on hold for indefinite time.<\/p>\n
Seddiq Seddiqi, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior has told Salam Watandar the electronic E-cards distribution is an important task for government, but due to decline in foreign aid and lack of budget; the government is compelled to abandon this work.<\/p>\n
The countries that were supporting the project, had already announced that if the distribution of E-cards did not commence in time, they would stop their support.<\/p>\n
Distribution of the E-cards was one of the fundamental promises of the Government of National Unity.<\/p>\n
Some of the analysts believe that without the E-cards, it would be impossible for the government to organize fair and independent election.<\/p>\n
It was predicted that on 19 August 2015 distribution of the E-cards would commence but for some unclear reasons President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani ordered to hold it.<\/p>\n
According to the officials associated with this project, some 500 thousand people-most of them government employee-had registered themselves to take part in the E-cards distribution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fayazuddin Ghayasi, Spokesman for the Office of E-cards, told Salam Watandar that the employee were anxous over the delay.<\/p>\n
He feared many people would lose job if the work is halted for long. Salam Watandar wished to obtain view of the Arg (Presidential Palace) over it but to no avail.<\/p>\n
