Mufindi residents have been urged to collaborate with the Registration, Insolvency and Trusteeship Agency (Rita) in a drive to provide birth and death certificates in Mafinga District. As a result, they miss out on important services and opportunities,” she said, adding that Rita services are important for every citizen because the documents can help them access many social services. These are among the important documents required to validate and complete the application process,” said Mr Kilambia. Mr Clayson Samwel, from Mponda Ward, noted that many people in the district depend on tea harvesting but often miss recruitment because they lack birth certificates. Some people follow up on benefits belonging to relatives who have died, but they are required to provide either a death certificate or a birth certificate.
