Prof. Kithure Kindiki, the interior cabinet secretary, revealed that 15,400 passports are available for pick up at various immigration centers this week.

The CS stated that this follows the collection of 22,353 passports in Nairobi and the country's regional immigration offices last week following his Rapid Results Initiative (RRI) for issuing visas to Kenyans.

The required passports must be picked up in Nairobi and other regional offices, according to Kindiki.

Seven thousand five hundred one passports are ready in Nairobi, 1,166 in Mombasa, 1,602 in Kisumu, and 1,000 must be picked up in Nakuru. The passports must also be picked up at the regional offices in Eldoret (1,543), Kisii (1,500), and Embu (1,088).

Kindiki said, "The Government will continue to align our processes and delivery environments to ensure we bring about long-term efficiency in the immigration department and sustain the war against corruption to restore public confidence."

This comes after the CS visited Nyayo House, where the Department of Immigration is housed, multiple times in response to public outcry over the delayed issuance of passports and widespread corruption.



Kindiki threatened to oust the department's corrupt personnel and committed to speeding up the passport printing process.

Many Kenyans lamented losing out on travel and employment opportunities due to the delays.
