Muktarr,
Although your idea of issuing free ID card will be welcomed by a lot of
citizens, but how will the government cover that cost. How can a country that
cannot offer it's citizens with birth certificates issue free ID cards? I
think the D25.00 fee is very reasonable, and every Gambia should carry one
wherever they go. I don't know of any country that offers free ID cards
(excuse me if I am wrong).
If I am right, it's a law in every country for residents to carry ID card
with wherever they go. If stopped, or even collecting a valuable anywhere,
the fist thing required is an ID card from the receiver.
I do not condone any form harassment, but the ID card enforcement is to the
benefit of our Country.

Tony loum have a safe trip. Seattle will miss you. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU
