The government should end this Middle East slave trade

There has been a sea of humanity at Nyayo House building from Monday to Friday. Majority of those thronging here are first-time passport applicants. Despite the relative ease of applying the document online, obtaining it remains a rigorous and painstaking experience not for the faint-hearted or short-tempered.

Majority of these first time applicants have one thing in common; their destination is Middle East. Countries of choice are Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain and even Iraq.
