What you need to know:

  • Passport-seekers with deep pockets get the document without much hustle through a connected group.
  • Prof Kindiki now says that immigration officials involved in corrupt practices will be dismissed.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki yesterday took responsibility for the inordinate delays in passport issuing, as he announced a new crackdown on “cartels” at Nyayo House.

Prof Kindiki said the latest approach to resolve the issue involves a commitment by the government to settle dues owed to suppliers.
