Delroy Chuck, has called on Jamaicans to support the National Identification System (NIDS), as it will prevent identity theft from affecting hard-working Jamaicans whose information fall into the hands of criminals through cyberspace. NIDS Programme Director, Warren Vernon, highlighted that the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA), reported over 2,000 cases of passport fraud cases between 2009 and 2019, while the Ministry of National Security would have reported over 400 cases involving identity theft.
