How a man ended up in jail after losing his identity card
National Identity Cards have become essential documents for many Ugandans, serving as the key to unlocking a range of services and opportunities. Whether it is opening a bank account, obtaining a passport, or registering a business, a national ID is often a prerequisite before one can proceed. However, the reliance on these National Identity Cards has also brought about new vulnerabilities, turning them into significant liabilities when the ID is lost or misused. The consequences of such scenarios can be dire, often affecting one's personal and professional life in unexpected ways. This is the story of Saleh Mukwanga, a father of three whose life took a dramatic turn after he lost his ID, resulting in a series of events that led to his wrongful incarceration.
