On Wednesday, the government increased service fees for passports and IDs a thing that most Kenyans are against. Winnie Odinga, a Member of Parliament in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), dismissed calls from Kenyans seeking assistance from Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga in response to the raised government service fees. On Thursday, November 9, she responded to a user who suggested that her father should organize another set of protests against the government.
“Si uambie babako aweke maandamano,” the tweep asked Winnie.
Responding to the Twitter user, the EALA Member of Parliament criticized the individual, advising him to refrain from troubling his father. She pointed out that the father had been sent to his hometown in Bondo during the 2022 general elections.
“Si ulimtuma Bondo? Achana na Babangu,” Odinga responded to the tweep.
In recent weeks, Raila Odinga has maintained a low profile following the agreement between Azimio and Kenya Kwanza to engage in renewed bipartisan discussions addressing various issues affecting Kenyans, including the rising cost of living.

On Wednesday, the government implemented an increase in service fees for IDs and passports.
According to a special gazette notice issued by Interior CS Kithure Kindiki, the cost of replacing an ID has been raised to Ksh 2000 from the previous Ksh 100. For first-time ID applicants, the fee has been set at Ksh 1000, which was formerly free.
Furthermore, the government has adjusted passport fees. The standard 34-page passport fee has increased from Ksh 4500 to Ksh 7500, while the standard 50-page passport now costs Ksh 9000, up from Ksh 6000.
For an ordinary 66-page passport, the new cost is Ksh 12000, previously Ksh 7500. Additionally, a diplomatic 50-page passport now carries a fee of Ksh 15000, up from Ksh 7500.
The fees for replacing a passport have been raised from Ksh 12,000 to Ksh 20,000. Similarly, the cost of replacing a valid mutilated passport has been increased from Ksh 10,000 to Ksh 20,000.
