The State department for immigration and citizen services is set to receive an extra Sh70 million in the upcoming budget for the purchase of high-capacity passport printers following booklet delivery backlogs on account of faulty machines.

The Budget and Appropriations Committee has recommended the allocation following its observation that the department could not cope with the high demand for passports by Kenyans.
