Kisii passport office idle, Nairobi swarmed

The Immigration Department in Kisii County has called on Kenyans to visit the offices to obtain or replace passports, saying it is largely idle. The department recently opened passport control offices in Eldoret, Nakuru, Embu and Kisii to ease congestion but the latter office has only had a few applicants.

This happens as Kenyans continue to brace chilly dawns at Nairobi’s Nyayo House to obtain the valuable document to beat the August 31, 2019 deadline for shifting to the new generation passport.
