Breaking News – Government amends NIDS legislation Bill

Thank you for reading this post. Don't forget to subscribe!

News Alert!!!!! The gov of Jamaica is currently amending legislation to pass the NIDS bill! All citizens will be forced by law to submit personal, general, and biometric info which includes retina scans, fingerprints, toe prints, blood type, religion, etc. All info will be stored in a database controlled by the gov.

Failure to get a NIN ( National identity number) will affect the following:

1. Registration of births, deaths, marriages, etc

2. Passports, driving privileges, voting rights, and access to commercial, academic, industrial, and socioeconomic services.

3. After 3 years of not having a NIDS, u will be fined J$100 000 or be sentenced to community service.

The cost of the NIDS is $US 68.05 mil which the gov of Jamaica is borrowing to be paid over many years to come

Reason for NIDS:

1. Remember vision 2030? Well in keeping with that vision, Sustainable development goal (SDG)# 16 is to promote peaceful inclusive societies….. justice to all, etc.

I’m sure by now u know who would want such inclusion right?

Also, the right to identity is another reason why every citizen of Jamaica will be given a unique number, remember identity is different from identification!

My concerns:

1. Why such a great hurry in passing this bill in hush-hush silence? Most Jamaicans are unaware that the following legislations have been amended for NIDS ( Registration of Births act 1889, Marriage Act 1897, Passport Act 1935, Revenue Admin Act 1985, Jamaica Nationality Act 1962, The Immigration Restriction Act 1945, The Forgery Act 1942, etc. So many laws are being amended without us knowing.

2. Why does my choice to take on an identity as a male or female warrant a new identification? Uh?

3. Why am I being punished for not choosing to have a particular ID? Suppose those who don’t have a driver’s license were penalized? Paying $100 000 or community service for not having one ID?

4. Why does the government need my blood type and religion to conduct business, pay taxes, travel or go to school?

5. Who will repay this loan?

If Jamaica is in agreement to be used as a lab rat/ test run/ pilot project for the new world order, shouldn’t the government make the interested party pay and not us and our great-grandchildren?

Lastly, Australia and other countries have rejected this bill. What are we waiting on?

Despite many oppositions to the NIDS bill on Friday (including Blind senator Floyd Morrison expressing he’d only gotten some parts of the bill on Friday), the government side of parliament insisted that parliament would not end until the bill passes! It was only when supporting admin, clerical and ancillary staff spoke out about the grave inconvenience of parliament’s extended hours, that at 1:00am, they adjourned until Monday at 9.

Why such urgency?

What pressure is the government under to pass this bill right now?

The rights of all Jamaicans are at stake! Let us not sit idly by, unconcerned!
