The UK based company-De-La-rue has won an $18million tender to work on Rwandas identity card project.
The company which brought in sophisticated equipments to finish the work is now capturing biometric data in which a digital picture, electric finger print and signature are included.
The data capture that started in February this year will end in August though by the end of April the residents of Kigali will have received their Identity cards.
The government has registered 5.3 million Rwandans above 16 years who will be given new national identity cards.
However, the coordinator of the project, Mr. Pascal Nyamurinda told East African Business Week that biometric data of 10 million Rwandans has been computerised.
