Kenyans waiting for passports are set to wait further as the government announces another breakdown of printing machines at Nyayo House.
This is the second breakdown within one week, rising the already existing backlog.
n a statement on Tuesday, the Immigration Department also said it was experiencing a shortage of printing materials.
The announcement comes amid uproar by Kenyans over the delays in acquiring passports at the hands of the constantly faulty machine, the government’s laxity in addressing the matter is now raising more questions than answers.
According to an article by Nation on Monday, June 5, the Directorate of Immigration Services receives billions in annual exchequer allocations but it is still using old machines that are unreliable.
“Despite numerous promises about the improvement of services, the issuance of passports has perennial problems.”
