How does the campaign for national identity card renewal support citizens with royal pardons?
Interviewer: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Senior Police Commissioner Hassan Fathi, Head of the Regional Communication Unit at Regional Security of Taza. Commissioner Fathi, thank you for joining us! Can you start by telling us about the recent campaign to facilitate the renewal of the national identity cards in rural areas?
Commissioner Fathi: Thank you for having me! This campaign is a significant step towards enhancing accessibility for our citizens, especially those in remote and mountainous areas. We set up a special space in Kaf El Ghar to provide these essential services. It’s not just about renewing the CNIE; it’s about rebuilding trust and fostering a closer relationship between citizens and the administration.
Interviewer: It’s fascinating! What specific strategies did you implement to reach those living in more isolated communities?
Commissioner Fathi: Great question! We deployed mobile security units equipped with advanced technological devices. These units traveled to various douars and mountainous communes within Taza and Taounate, allowing us to bring our services directly to those who might struggle to make the journey to our main offices. This initiative runs until November 7, 2024, and is designed in close coordination with local authorities to ensure comprehensive support.
Interviewer: That sounds effective. How does this initiative contribute to the lives of the citizens it serves?
Commissioner Fathi: The primary goal is to facilitate access to basic services. For many, having an updated CNIE means being able to access digital services, participate in public life, and secure their rights. This initiative particularly supports small farmers and citizens who recently benefited from a royal pardon, helping them renew their identity cards on site. This eliminates the need for them to travel to Taza or Taounate, which can be quite cumbersome.
Interviewer: Could you elaborate on how the DGSN team assists the citizens during this process?
Commissioner Fathi: Certainly. Our agents are not just there to process applications; they guide citizens throughout the renewal process and ensure that those who are elderly or have special needs are given priority to avoid long waits. We want to make this experience as smooth and dignified as possible. The mobile units are equipped with biometric and fingerprinting technology, which allows for efficient processing on-site.
Interviewer: That’s commendable. The campaign also has an inclusive aspect regarding those who have received royal pardons. How does this fit into your broader mission?
Commissioner Fathi: Indeed, prioritizing these individuals aligns with our mission of supporting rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Many of these small cannabis growers expressed a genuine desire to renew their identity cards as part of their reintegration into public life. By facilitating this process, we are not only supporting their individual journeys but also promoting a wider understanding and acceptance within the community.
Interviewer: It appears this operation will have lasting effects. Will the mobile units continue their services beyond this particular campaign?
Commissioner Fathi: Yes, absolutely. The mobile units are not a seasonal operation; they are part of our ongoing commitment. We have a predetermined work program approved by the DGSN, which ensures that we continue to support the populations in these remote areas throughout the year. Regular outreach is part of our strategic objective to enhance citizen administration engagement and trust.
Interviewer: Thank you, Commissioner Fathi, for shedding light on this important initiative. Your team’s dedication is truly commendable.
Commissioner Fathi: Thank you for having me! We will continue to work diligently to ensure that all citizens have access to their rights and essential services.
