The Kenyan government recently delivered hundreds of passports to Kenyans in the United States.
These passports represent the culmination of applications submitted by Kenyans abroad just last month. This expedited issuance can be attributed to the prioritization of diaspora issues by President William Ruto's administration. A key factor in this achievement is the implementation of the Mobile Consular Service (MCS). This initiative decentralizes service delivery within Kenyan foreign missions allowing for a more efficient application process.
Notably, the first batch of passports requested through the MCS program last month has already arrived in Washington D.C. This accomplishment is a testament to the successful collaboration between the State Department and the Department of Immigration. Previously, applying for a Kenyan passport was only possible through the embassy in Washington D.C. However, the MCS program now allows Kenyans in major US cities like Boston, Houston, and Seattle to submit their applications locally. This expansion in service accessibility is a welcome change for the Kenyan diaspora.
Within Kenya itself, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has implemented a new directive aimed at streamlining passport issuance. This directive mandates the completion of passport applications within 21 days of successful submission. To meet this ambitious goal, the government has invested in new printing machines enabling them to tackle the backlog of over 700,000 passport requests. Additionally, Secretary Kindiki has pledged to combat corruption within the immigration department by eliminating officials who exploit Kenyans seeking passport services.
The streamlined process coupled with expanded accessibility through the MCS program empowers Kenyans to obtain passports more conveniently fulfilling their travel and identification needs.

@shianika, the only way you can “flood” the lies is by telling the pretty face Njogu to close that Goddam useless Embassy in Washington DC to save the tax payers money. The fish is terribly rotten from the head to the fins. Nothing functions properly in a black man’s world because of corruption and greed. As a matter of fact you are better off without that Kenya passport! For what reason do you need it????????
Nocomments?
Njogu, where is my passport??? You guys can truly lie like some demon possessed idiots! Why do you think the diaspora needs Kenyans passports? Most folks have other more valuable passports.

@kiprotish - hehehehe! If wishes were horses, even beggars could ride! I agree she is cute. And for some reason Ruto may have appointed her to lure her into the men’s world of the Kalenjin nation! So keep trying as you never know where a woman’s heart may fall. Good luck!
Aaaah, well, she is already taken by Ruto. She is a second fiddle to Rachel.
