[PHOTOS] Kindiki makes another assessment visit to Nyayo House

Interior CS Kithure Kindiki on Monday another visit to Nyayo House, to assess the progress on service delivery efficiency.

According to the CS, he also inspected the production, registry, and archival facilities, at the the immigration department.

He also interacted with various passport applicants and engaged in new ideas on areas that need improvement.

During the visit, Kindiki noted that all 724,000 passports that were part of the historical backlog that had accumulated between June 2021 and March 2024 have now been printed.

He said 684,500 of them have already been collected by their holders.

It took a bit of time to get exchequer funding, pay pending supplier debts, dismantle the corruption cartels, and acquire and install modern, high capacity printing equipment.

“What remains now is to fastrack the collection of 39,500 ready but uncollected passports from the backlog lot,” Kindiki added.
