Friday, September 8, 2023 – Kenyans have started receiving their passports as the Ministry of Interior makes successful breakthrough in the crackdown.
Today Saturday September 8, Professor Kithure Kindiki, while interacting with members of the public seeking passports today at Nyayo House, made the breakthrough statement.
Making the statement on the same, Kindiki announced that, finally, there was light at the end of the tunnel in his quest to clean the corrupt-riddled Nyayo House and that passports were being issued with speed to those who had been delayed for years or months ago.
He confirmed that the queues were now shorter and that the services of passport issuance were moving on so well and to his satisfaction.
“The queues at Nyayo House are now shorter, and the movement is faster as the Immigration Department works to process all outstanding passport applications. The tremendous improvement is a result of operational reforms initiated in the last three weeks. Immigration officers are working round the clock to clear the backlog and eventually ensure all future applications are processed without delay,” CSKindiki noted.
The CS also assured members of the public that his next stop will be at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations DCI where good conduct certificates are issued.
“Met with Top management of the DCI led by Director Mohamed Amin and assessed the process and system constraints that have led to paralysis of the production of Police Clearance Documents Certificate of Good Conduct over the last few months,” Kindiki announced.
He said the system breakdown had been resolved, discussed with the DCI team and agreed on a recovery plan to return normalcy in the provision of this critical service to members of the public.
He also said the task remains to clear the backlog and upgrade the system from the current Automated Palm and Fingerprint Identification System APFIS to the more efficient Multi Biometric Identification System MBIS.
