The State Department for Immigration and Citizen Services has received the green light to retain a fifth of the money it generates from the issuance of crucial documents such as passports and identity cards in a temporary arrangement aimed at easing perennial cash flow challenges.
The appropriations-in-aid (A-i-A) budget for the department has consequently tripled to Sh3.9 billion for the current financial year ending June from Sh1.3 billion the year before, according to the National Treasury.
