The demand for ordinary passports by citizens
has drastically risen unlike 10 years back. Then,
the directorate Citizenship and Immigration
Control used to get 40 to 50 applicants on a
daily but now, numbers have soared to 500. This
has made the stock of ordinary passports run
low. The demand has been attributed to
individuals seeking work in the Middle East.
The commissioner citizenship and passport
control, Nicholas Ongodia in a press briefing at
the internal affairs ministry offices said,
appropriate measures have already been put in
place to deliver new stock by the end of this
month. He calls upon the public not to relent but
continue approaching the offices for the service.
