Led by Committee Chair Gabriel Tongoyo, the MPs suggested the establishment of additional immigration offices nationwide to streamline the passport application process. Currently, there are only eight immigration offices across the country, leading many Kenyans to travel long distances to apply for passports.
Tongoyo emphasized the need for adequate resources and the opening of more offices to achieve the goal of issuing passports within three days.
