Many people in our community are facing serious challenges because IRP card renewals are taking an exceptionally long time. Some residents have been waiting for months for their updated documentation.

โข Employment: Individuals have lost their jobs, and many cannot begin new roles because their paperwork is stalled in the system.
โข Travel: Many are unable to travel for urgent personal reasons. We are aware of heartbreaking cases where residents could not travel home even after the death of a close family member.
โข Ongoing Stress: The uncertainty surrounding work, travel, and personal responsibilities is putting immense pressure on families.

โข Petition: Over 1,500 people signed our petition to draw public and political attention to the backlog.

โข Government Response: In response to these questions, the Minister addressed the issue on the floor of the Dรกil, providing assurances that the matter would be resolved.

While the Minister for Justice committed to addressing the backlog and extended the temporary travel advisory until the end of February, no permanent solution has been implemented. Now that the advisory has expired, many people are facing renewed uncertainty.

As there has been no clear outcome from the relevant department or the Ministry, we are organizing a peaceful and lawful protest to share these concerns with the wider public.
We have reached out to trade unions, NGOs, and other community organizations for their support.ย
We are calling for understanding, fairness, and timely action.
Your support is vital to ensure that all residents and workers are treated with clarity and respect.
