“We, therefore, call on the Government of Kenya to take swift and decisive action to address the root causes of these delays and ensure that all citizens receive their government documents in a timely manner. We urge a thorough investigation to determine the reasons for the delays in processing government documents. Identify specific bottlenecks, procedural deficiencies and any corruption cases that may be contributing to these delays,” Kinyua said.

“Re-evaluate and simplify the processes of obtaining passports, property titles and other crucial documents to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and bureaucratic obstacles. Implement modem technology and best practices to increase efficiency.

They have urged that transparent systems should be put in place to track the progress of document requests, including clear deadlines for processing, and provide regular updates to applicants. Implement mechanisms for citizens to report delays and irregularities.

Kinyua has also urged that a launch of information campaign to educate citizens about their rights and entitlements in relation to government documents, should be established.
