{UAH} What’s the motive of the new passport?

MUHAMMAD NSEREKO:
Dear comrades,
What's the motive of the new passport?
Am not against the move to modernize our immigration sector but these are my questions?
1.How do you tell someone who has just paid for a passport meant to be valid for 10 years to pay new charges for a new passport?
2. How do you carter for those working abroad or Ugandans living in the diaspora, who don't intend to return to Uganda within 2 years. Notwithstanding the fact that some embassies don't even have the capability to print these new passports.
3. I sense that this move is driven more by business than development. After realizing that over one million Ugandans hold passports, the company contracted and its backers know it's a chance to make over 300 billion shillings from this venture.
4. Legally it's a breach of contract by government. When a citizen pays for a service of 10 years, government as a party cannot receive that money from its citizens and then ask for new payment for the same upgraded document. Therefore this is real theft that Ugandans cannot accept.
If the government indeed has good faith, let them just replace with no pay at all for all those passports with at least morethan 9 and half years left to expire.
We cannot accept a government that colludes with private companies to rob from its citizens.
As shadow minister for security, together with my other colleagues. We shall petition this including going to court to stop this.
I will also be live later on to address the country on this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Muhammad Nsereko
Shadow Minister for Security
