Kenyans looking for passports are set to wait for much longer after one of the printers broke down at Nyayo House in Nairobi and the government is yet to repair it more than two months down the line, in what promises another painful month for those seeking to travel.

Officials at the immigration department told the Business Daily that one of the machines that prints the 34, 50 and 66-page booklets broke down in March, inconveniencing applicants who had applied for the travel documents.
