Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki on Friday made an impromptu visit to Immigration Department offices at Nyayo House to assess the progress of the issuance of passports.

This was the second time this week after another visit on Thursday where he came face to face with the challenges Kenyans are grappling with to obtain travel documents and National identity cards.
