Kenya’s Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services has announced that the government has resolved issues that previously caused delays in passport applications and issuance. Chief Secretary Julius Bitok assured Kenyans that processes have been streamlined to expedite the production of travel documents.
“We process passports very quickly now. We have two new machines, a modern banking hall, and we are constantly improving our systems,” Bitok said.
As a result of these improvements, Bitok confirmed that hundreds of passports have been printed, addressing the passport backlog that was a major concern for Kenyans. He urged those who have already applied for passports to collect them promptly.
“Let us collect our passports from the Immigration Department. We have printed 110,000 passports and they are ready for collection. This is a huge number,” he stressed.
Bitok also disclosed that the government is in the process of expanding its services by establishing more centres across the country to facilitate the issuance of passports.
“We recently opened offices in Kericho and Bungoma and we are now moving to Nyeri and Garissa. We are also looking at opening an office in Machakos to bring these services closer to the people,” he said.
