Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has announced new measures that will see efficiency in the issuance of passports, IDs, birth and death certificates.
The CS has announced that from July this year, the documents will be taking at most 24 hours to be issued.
"Issuance of passports, IDs, birth and death certificates to take a day after application from July 2020, "Interior CS Fred Matiang’i said as quoted by the Daily Nation.
The announcement will be welcomed by Kenyans who have long complained of having to wait for long and sometimes having to pay bribes to get the documents.
It comes on the heels of an order issued by Interior PS Karanja Kibicho to county commissioners to be conducting random unannounced check at government service centers to ensure that there are no shortcomings and that rogue elements are dealt with decisively.
"The pain Kenyans undergo while seeking citizen services must end. County Commissioners are now directed to conduct impromptu checks at service centers, report & take action on shortcomings in provision of immigration services and issuance of ID cards & birth/death certificates," Kibicho said.
