Passport services to become fully accessible online by year’s end- Minister Walrond
As the government accelerates its digital transformation agenda, Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond has announced that passport services are expected to become fully accessible online by the end of the year. Speaking on the Starting Point Podcast with host Fareeza Haniff, Minister Walrond said the ongoing rollout of online immigration services has already proven successful, eliminating human bias and reducing opportunities for extortion and bribery.
During the interview, the security minister also highlighted key initiatives, including ankle monitors for domestic violence offenders, stronger anti-drug measures, wider police body camera use, new firearm licensing approaches, and a 25% drop in serious crimes.
