Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has said the passport printing backlog will be cleared in 10 days, as immigration officers work round the clock to process more than 40,000 pending travel documents.

During an impromptu visit at Nyayo House, the headquarters of the Immigration department, the CS said he had noted progress in the processing of passports, which resulted from radical reforms in the department.
